Fans of Bridget Jones’s Diary should be VERY excited about this.
For the best part of a decade, it was almost impossible to escape the all-pervading power of Gabrielle.
Kicking off with ‘Dreams’ back in 1993, over the next ten years she went on to sell over 5 million records in the UK alone, as well as scoring two No. 1 singles, ten Top 10 singles, a No. 1 album and five Top 10 Albums.
She is also a two-time BRIT Award winner – Best British Breakthrough Act in 1994 and the Best British Female Solo Artist in 1997 – and she also picked up various MOBO Awards, not to mention an Ivor Novello for Outstanding Song Collection.
Aside from that killer first single, Gabrielle also had the incredible ‘Rise’, as well as Bridget Jones’s Diary soundtrack highlight ‘Out Of Reach’, which essentially become the go-to anthem for the heartbroken for a number of years after the movie came out.
All of that is just a reminder of just how big an artist she was back in the day, and still has a multitude of fans today, and it should make them all very happy to hear that she is heading to Ireland in early 2019 to play the hits, as well as tracks from her new album Under My Skin.
Gabrielle will be performing at the Olympia on 22 March 2019, and tickets are available from the usual outlets right now.
In the meantime, who is up for singing along with us to this?
