The incomparable Ruby Turner returns to Leeds.

Her career to date has always had many unexpected twists and turns with major tours, theatre and TV appearances, and touring with Jools Holland, the future continues to look positive. On 4 June 2012 Ruby performed You Are So Beautiful with Jools Holland at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace in London. In Autumn 2012, Ruby was a guest judge on BBC’s The Choir: Sing While You Work with choirmaster Gareth Malone and, in 2013, Ruby was a guest judge on BBC’s Songs of Praise.

In June 2016, Ruby was awarded an MBE. Her major break came in the mid 1980s, when she was asked to join Culture Club at the height of their stardom.
