MOBO-nominated vocalist, former Incognito lead singer, and frontwoman for Goldie’s live band, Natalie Williams brings her incredible quintet to the Hever stage for a spectacular night celebrating her ultimate musical inspirations. A truly world-class collaborator, Natalie has shared stages and recordings with global stars including Michael Bublé, Gregory Porter, Emeli Sandé, and Jessie Ware.
Natalie is also a favourite fixture at the festival, returning annually to delight audiences both with the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars and her own powerhouse collective, Soul Family, the legendary group behind her historic, 20-year monthly ‘Soul Family Sunday’ residency at the iconic London Ronnie Scott’s jazz club.
In this specially curated show, Natalie takes you on a vibrant journey through the sounds that shaped her artistry. From the electrifying soul of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Roberta Flack to the brilliant songwriting of Sting, the smooth bossa nova of Jobim, and a selection of her own much-loved original compositions, this performance is a masterclass in genre-fusing brilliance. Backed by a killer band, expect jaw-dropping vocal range, effortless charisma, and pure musical magic.
