Mica Paris, the UK’s Queen of Soul makes a highly anticipated return to The Fire Station for this very special one-off show with her band. Warmly remembered for playing one of the first ever shows at The Fire Station back in December ’21, Mica lifted the roof off with a powerhouse live show of soul and gospel classics including all of her hit singles and we are delighted that she will be back to do it all over again in May!
Mica grew up singing in her grandparents' church, and by her mid-teens was making regular appearances with The Spirit Of Watts gospel choir, with whom she featured on the 1985 EP Gospel Joy. At the age of 18 “If” was signed to the 4th & Broadway label on Island Records and included her first Top 10 hit “My One Temptation” which peaked at #7 in the UK charts as well as a collaboration with jazz saxophonist Courtney Pine on “Like Dreamers Do” and “Breathe Life into Me”, both Top 30 UK hits. This was followed by a duet with US soul singer Will Downing on the classic Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway song “Where Is The Love” which broke the UK Top 20.
Following on from Mica's huge success she went on to film Gospel According to Mica - the Story of Gospel Music in six songs. Since her first Top 10 Hit in 1988 with My One Temptation, Mica has gone on to release eight more albums.
Mica released her latest album, Gospel, which came out to critical acclaim in December 2020 and shot to No. 1 in the UK R&B Album Charts – it seamlessly weaves together new material, timeless gospel classics, and spellbinding contemporary versions of songs such as Mamma Said and (Something Inside) So Strong."
Come and join us at The Fire Station, for one of the most uplifting concerts you will ever hear!
