Yamaha artist YolanDa Brown is one of the most exciting, in-demand live performers on the world stage today, whose concerts always sell out. Yolanda Brown returns to the HMV Apollo having previously supported The Temptations there during their UK tour a few years ago. She has also toured with, to critical acclaim, Errol Brown, Courtney Pine, David Sanborn, Kenny G and Diana Krall. YolanDa has worked in collaboration with artists such as Mica Paris and Soweto Kinch, she has also performed as a part of Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

YolanDa Brown performs two special HMV Apollo dates with full 10 piece live band, backing vocalists and accompaniment from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
