ALISON MOYET JOINS YEAR-LONG PARTY

Moyet.
Renowned for bringing the ultimate party experience to

Isle of Wight on Friday 23rd April and end on Wednesday
22nd December in Cheltenham.
"These are shaping up to be some of our best shows yet," says Jools.

  Starting
out with Yazoo, Alison
Moyet quickly went solo
and has attracted legions of fans through her soulful
song writing and interpretations, as well as her West
End appearances, including her depiction of 'Mama' Morton
in Chicago.
Alison, whose Top 10 hits include All Cried Out
and Love Letters, says "I first sang with Jools in the
early '80s on The Tube (the non public transport variety)
and often times since and it is ever a pleasure. Taking part
in his tour will be both a fabulous sea change and a return
to the beginning. It's a great thing being invited to work
with musicians of this fine calibre".
