He has released several albums to critical acclaim and regularly tours internationally, known for engaging live performances.
The Y building in Leicester has a significant history within the city. Originally opened in 1905 as a Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), it served as a central hub for social, recreational and educational activities for over a century. Designed by architects Arthur William Brewill and Ernest Charles Roberts, the building showcases Edwardian Baroque architecture. While the YMCA presence diminished over time, the building continued to function as a community space under various guises. In recent years, it underwent substantial renovation supported by National Lottery funding from Heritage England and is now operated as a multi-purpose arts and cultural venue hosting diverse events including music performances, theatre productions and exhibitions.
