Solihull Arts Complex

Martine McCutcheon's promoter notified the venue at 11.30am today that regrettably she will be unable to perform here on Weds due to unforeseen circumstances.  No further info is known currently and the show will not be re-arranged within the current tour schedule.

Our staff are calling all ticketholders for a refund, plus as a gesture of goodwill, we'd like to offer all ticketholders complimentary ticketst to see Jess Robinson on Thursday.  Simply turn up with your Martine tickets and swap them for free seats to see Jess.

 

Martine first found fame as Tiffany Mitchell in Eastenders in the 1990s, before releasing her platinum-selling debut solo album ‘You, Me & Us’ in 1999 containing the No. 1 single ‘Perfect Moment’. West End and TV roles followed and along the way she became the nation’s sweetheart. In 2003, Martine memorably played Natalie opposite Hugh Grant in ‘Love Actually.’

Now 41 and happily married mum has returned to the studio having co-written most of the songs on the new album ‘Lost and Found’ with her husband, the multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jack McManus, and she has never sounded better!

Martine also reprised her role in the Comic Relief reunion of ‘Love Actually’ earlier this year and has just wrapped a film with Alan Davies called ‘The Bromley Boys.’

However it’s music that’s her main focus. First single ‘Say I’m Not Alone’, is a song like nothing Martine has ever recorded before; big, bold, brash, merging clanging guitars, thumping drums and a hard hitting lyric. Other album highlights include the rocky ‘Any Sign Of Life’, the beautiful ‘Stay With Me’ (which is a duet with Jack) and album closer ‘Rebellion’.

The album is a deeply personal record that deals with everything from relationships to Martine's debilitating illness that saw her unable to work. “Life brought this album about very gradually,” explains Martine. “It was a really unconscious thing; I started writing the songs at a time in my life when I’d lost everything.”

An Evening with Martine McCutcheon is an ideal Christmas gift idea and is likely to sell out so please book early.

Martine hopes to take a Q&A session at the end of the show - taking audience questions.
