Win tickets for Heather Small's one night in Wakefield at Warehouse 23

It is hard to imagine someone who fronted a top band and has such a presence on stage might be shy, but that was the case with Heather Small as she grew up on a West London estate.

But despite shyness and nervousness, she joined her first band Hot!House, then M People, with whom her career went stratospheric.

She performed incredible hits like ‘Moving On Up’, ‘One Night In Heaven’ and ‘Search For The Hero’ made albums Elegant Slumming, Bizarre Fruit and Fresco and achieved worldwide success.

Heather became one of the seminal British voices of the 1990s, with the band winning the Best British Dance Act Award at the Brits in 1994 and 1995, as well as the Mercury Music Prize for Elegant Slumming.

Heather has since had great successes with two solo albums – the title track of her ‘Proud’ album has gone on to become the soundtrack to a whole host of very special events including London’s successful 2012 Olympic bid, the 60th anniversary of VE Day in Trafalgar Square, the launch of Queen Mary 2, the Tsunami Relief Concert, England’s victory at the Rugby World Cup celebrations, and the official ceremony marking the handover of the Olympic Games from Beijing to London.
