Joy Crookes Live At The Islington Assembly Hall, London
Supported by Kai Kwasi, the London-based Irish-Bangladeshi songstress delivered a stunning performance of her debut album Skin at The Academy last night, November 11.
She might have nominations for Best Pop/R&B Act and Best New Artist under her belt, but the ever-soulful Joy Crookes displays a breadth of experience as she steps into London's Omeara venue for one of this year’s BRITs Week performances, presented by Mastercard for War Child.
It's pretty astonishing to think Joy Crookes has only really been around since 2019. Her performance at a sold out Trinity Centre in Bristol this evening (November 7) has all the hallmarks of a certified idol embarking on her umpteenth tour.
