RUBY Turner, one of the UK’s finest soul singers, has recently launched her long awaited ‘Live at Ronnie Scott’s’ album.

And there’s a good chance she’ll be singing some of the numbers when she appears at Bromsgrove’s Artrix on September 27 (8pm).

Fans have constantly requested albums which are sadly no longer available in the shops and this has led to the release of her excellent double album, recorded in autumn 2006.

It includes both old hits and other recent favourites from a performance at one of the UK's most prestigious live venues.

The bonus album was recorded live at the MAC {Midlands Arts Centre} in Ruby's now hometown of Birmingham.

Born in Jamaica, she came to England when she was nine. Ruby can breathe life and meaning into a song whether it is a passionate soaring ballad or a soulful up-tempo groove.

Her career to date has been sensational with major tours, film, TV and theatre appearances.

Her major break came when taken under the wings of Britons own Blues Legend Alexis Korner – sadly now gone from us.

In the mid 1980's she joined 'Culture Club' at the height of their stardom. Since then, Ruby has releasd 13 solo albums.
