In the centre of England, Derby hosted its second TK Maxx – Summer Sessions Festival on the weekend of the 12th – 14th of July. It ran Friday to Sunday with Sunday having the times rescheduled as revellers (and acts) were clearly going to be torn between music and football. The venue for the festival is under the big top in Markeaton Park, which really made a great venue for a selection of the charts biggest acts.




Now it’s time for the Soulful singer Gabrielle to take to the stage. Gabrielle has always been a bit of fashion icon, like when she wore the sparkly eye patch in the 90’s when she came out with her hit single ‘Dreams’. ‘When a Women’ a housewives favourite sounds great, as she moves back and forth. But other than her name behind her, and the great outfit. There isn’t much else to see, you really have to let the music do the talking. She had everyone’s arms in the air and swaying, as she went through her back catalogue of songs, which you might think you don’t know, but trust me you do, they are featured in near enough every romantic movie you have ever watched. Like the song ‘Give me a little more Time’, which was actually featured in the Mr. Bean film. The MOBO wining artist performed ‘Give me a little more Time’, ‘Sunshine’ and of course ‘Dreams’ and lots more favourites to a very happy crowd. See our crowd video of ‘Rise Again’ here.
