Original Northern Soul icon set for Garrick Theatre performance
Soul fans in Lichfield are set for an evening of original Northern Soul as the legendary Lorraine Silver joins The Signatures for a performance at the Garrick Theatre on Thursday 10 September.
The evening promises an authentic Northern Soul experience, featuring a ten-piece live band and the powerful vocals of guest singers, including Melanie Waite.
The Signatures are widely regarded as the UK’s most authentic Northern Soul live show, having previously served as the house band for the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6 Music.
The band has backed many of the genre's original legends, including Tommy Hunt, Bobby Wilson, Dean Parrish, Sidney Barnes, Gloria Jones, and Eddie Holman.
Lorraine Silver (pictured) is the latest icon to join them on stage for this high-energy tour.
She is best known for her classic track ‘Lost Summer Love’.
Originally recorded when she was just 13 years old, the song became a staple at the legendary Wigan Casino and remains a defining anthem of the Northern Soul movement.
In addition to performing her classic hits, the Lichfield show follows the highly anticipated release of Silver’s new album, 'Reimagined,' which was released on 15 May 2026, celebrating Lorraine’s 60-year career.
