Yola Carter, Michael Baker

Yes, it’s the annual Square Roots Xmas Cracker show!! If you’ve been to our last three Xmas shows, then you’ll know that they are always special occasions. And this year is not going to be any different as we have the amazing Yola Carter and her band playing for us - this lady is truly top drawer and we can’t wait for you all to see and hear just how great she is!

“A voice to die for - it could be likened to Aretha Franklin. She is that good!” (Maverick Magazine)

A force of nature and an incredibly talented singer-songwriter, former Phantom Limb frontwoman Yola Carter was raised on gospel and is a greatly in-demand singer and writer on the dance scene (Duke Dumont, Massive Attack, Chase & Status, DJ Fresh and many more).

However, country and soul from the likes of The Band, Staple Singers, Otis Redding and Dolly Parton has always been her true passion and she has now come home musically to embark upon the latest chapter of her career as a solo Americana artist.

Yola’s powerhouse voice and stage presence, superb original songs and striking arrangements from a supremely skilful and sympathetic band all combine to create a sensational live show.

“One of the best vocalists I’ve seen!” (For The Country Record)

“Loose limbed, soulful and funky – if you closed your eyes it sounded like Mavis Staples fronting The Band…a stadium-sized talent!” (Bristol 24/7)

“You gotta come and hear this woman! She’s for real! She’ll blow you away! (Jamie Freeman, Union Music)
