Heather Small is one of the most recognisable and powerful voices in British music.

As the frontwoman of M People, she helped shape the sound of 90s dance-soul. The band won the Mercury Prize in 1994 for Elegant Slumming and took home Brit Awards for Best British Dance Act, with hits including Moving on Up, One Night in Heaven, Search for the Hero and Sight for Sore Eyes.

Heather’s solo anthem Proud has since taken on a life of its own as an uplifting singalong. Her live shows are known for her huge voice and warm stage presence, and she’ll have the whole Quay singing along.

Catch Heather Small at CMF on Friday 16th July.
