Any artist would find it hard to top selling out the Royal Albert Hall as Beverley Knight did on Monday, but arguably she felt she had, with a stunning 90-minute showcase of her powerful vocals where she had the audience at The Halls in Wolverhampton lapping up every note she sang and every word she said in the city where it all started for her 30 years ago.

She was 'scooped up,' she said at Paloma's nightclub in 1994 before shortly after making her debut album The B-Funk and hasn't stopped since, releasing nine studio albums, becoming a star of the West End and of national television and radio.

But it was clear Wolverhampton is where her heart is, with constant 'Wolves Aye We' references and announcing that her mum, numerous members of her family, former school-friends and teachers were all in the audience.

Beverley Knight put on a 90 minute non stop show showcasing her 30 year career which started in Wolverhampton.

Indeed even one of the backing singers was her young niece and former Aldersley High School pupil Sofie-Ann who took her place in an impressive white-suit clad ten piece band.
