Gabrielle

Through the first chapter of her career – from her emergence in 1993 through to 2007 – Gabrielle was a near constant presence in the UK charts. She landed two #1 singles, a further eight Top 10 hits and five Top 10 albums, including the #1 hit Rise. Gabrielle has spent a combined total of over four years on the Top 40 of the Official Album and Singles Charts, exceeding 5 million sales in the process. In addition, she was part of the BBC’s all-star version of Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’.

Highlights of her numerous awards include the prestigious Ivor Novello for Outstanding Song Collection; two BRIT Awards for British Breakthrough Act and British Female Solo Artist; and both Best Album (Rise) and Best Single (Give Me A Little More Time) at the MOBO Awards.

2019 saw Gabrielle build on the success of her 2018 album, Under My Skin, by playing a near sold-out UK Headline Tour, BBC’s Proms In The Park (40,000), Blenheim Palace with Gladys Knight, Kingsholm Stadium with Nile Rogers as well as a summer full of festival dates.

Damage emerged onto the British music scene in 1997 with their debut album "Forever" and quickly became recognised following hits such as Love 2 Love, Love Guaranteed, Forever and a cover of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight.

Led by Andrez Mcleod, the quintet was formed at school at the beginning of the decade when Mcleod, Jade Jones, Coreé Richards, Rahsaan J. Bromfield and Noel Simpson were all teenagers. They made quick inroads into the UK singles chart and the second single "Love II Love" reached number 12 while the follow-up "Forever" was a number 6 hit.

Following a 10-year break from releasing music, in 2014 they returned to the UK’s screen appearing on ITV2’s “The Big Reunion" and embarking upon an extensive arena tour across the UK. Damage returned to touring in 2015 with their “Ghetto Romance Tour” delivering music from both albums across the UK.
