Laura Mvula to perform intimate concert at The Hippodrome in Leicester Square

Much feted soul star and double Brit Award nominee Laura Mvula will perform an intimate show at The Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square on Friday August 29th, with all funds raised being donated to Centrepoint, the leading charity for homeless young people.

Just 100 tickets will be released for this exclusive, hour-long show, which will see Mvula perform tracks from her Mercury-nominated debut album Sing To The Moon, recently re-recorded with the acclaimed Dutch jazz orchestra The Metropole Orkest. 

With the assistance of its patron Prince William, Centrepoint supports 8,400 homeless young people a year across London and the north of England. All of the money raised will ensure that homeless 16-25 year-olds not only have a safe place to stay, but receive the vital support in finding work and tackling health problems that they need to leave homelessness behind.

Laura Mvula said: "I'm really glad that we're able to support Centrepoint by doing a show. It's such a great organisation and being able to use music to help get young homeless people off the streets is a huge privilege. Hopefully we raise lots of money!”

An Audience With Laura Mvula is at The Hippodrome Casino on Friday August 29th. Tickets are £100 and are available from www.hippodromecasino.com.

Kristyna Myles releases single The Paris Match

Manchester songstress Kristyna Myles releases a brand new single, the Style Council classic 'The Paris Match' on 9th September, marking the 30th anniversary of its original release by the legendary band. Paul Weller who penned the track and granted Kristyna special permission to record her own version has already described the recording as “absolutely stunning”.  

The 2013 remake is co-produced by drummer Steve White (Style Council) and Mercury Prize nominated Manchester producer Andy Ross. Kristyna's sublime vocals are accompanied by an exalted musical line-up including Steve White (drums), Damon Minchella (Ocean Colour Scene) on bass and Justin Shearn (piano).

A percentage of the single sales will go to homeless charity Centrepoint who Kristyna is an ambassador for.A delighted Kristyna Myles stated, "The Paris Match is one of my all time favourite Style Council songs. I was invited to perform with Steve White for his 30 years in music shows and he asked me to sing The Paris Match. When interest to release the track as a single followed and I received permission from Paul Weller to record it, I was over the moon. I very much hoped I could do the track justice, so to receive such amazing feedback from such a legendary and iconic artist as Paul Weller is beyond my wildest dreams. I now hope the press, radio and record buying public will get behind this single to help raise much needed funds for Centrepoint."

Kristyna Myles got her first break back in 2005 busking on the streets of Manchester with
guitarist Ben Williams and winning BBC Radio Five Live’s ‘Busk Idol’ competition. She has since toured Europe, received extensive press and media coverage and opened for a host of big name artists including Mick Hucknall, Will Young, Status Quo, Lemar and The Wanted.
Kristyna’s debut album ‘Pinch Me Quick’ produced by Grammy Award winner Ken Nelson
(Coldplay, Paolo Nutini, Gomez) will be released later this year.

The Paris Match will be available to purchase as a download from Monday 9th September. A
limited number of Promo copies are available upon request and a sneak preview of the track
