‘You Got The Love’ as Candi Staton, a true great of Soul, sings in the New Year at Sage Gateshead

Revellers can end 2014 on a high as the million selling soul and disco princess Candi Staton heads to Tyneside for an unforgettable concert. Performing all of her classic hits including ‘Young Hearts Run Free’, ‘Nights on Broadway’ and the iconic ‘You Got the Love’ alongside brilliant new material from new album, ‘Life Happens’, this will be a New Year’s party you won’t want to miss. Staton’s sweetly roughened voice first captivated music lovers in the late sixties, and a series of wonderful records took her from the Southern Soul circuit in the US to the Billboard charts.   Today, young artists such as Florence & The Machine, Christine Aguilera and Joss Stone all cite her as a major influence. And it’s not just Candi who’ll be getting the party going. Her concert will lead into a wonderful NYE party at the iconic Tyneside venue, with a live band, DJ’s, dancing and cocktails helping you to carry on the fun into the early hours. There will even be the chance to make a real night of it, by dining in style with a pre-concert celebration dinner in Sage Gateshead’s wonderful Brasserie. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 31 October and are available from Sage Gateshead’s Ticket Office on 0191 443 4661 and from www.sagegateshead.com.
