"I write," says Joan Armatrading, "because I love it.” 

Three times Grammy nominated, two times Brit nominated, winner of a coveted Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection, and winner of the BASCA Gold Badge Award in 2012, it is a recognition that continues to this day. 2012 saw Joan receive the British Folk Festival Award, 2016 Radio 2’s Folk Award for Lifetime Achievement and, the same year, the MMF’s Artist’s Artist Award. In 2007 Joan became the first female British artist to debut at number 1 in the Billboard Blues chart and also the first ever female UK artist to be nominated for a Grammy in the blues category. She was awarded a CBE in 2020. 

Joan is unquestionably one of the most accomplished artists working today, and her music has touched millions of people all over the world. This is a unique opportunity to hear about her life’s work, in conversation with Jacqueline Springer.
