Mercury Music Prize-winner and songwriting genius Michael Kiwanuka will perform on the main stage appearance at Glastonbury on Saturday but was in Halifax last night to wow music-lovers at the historic venue.
His set was peppered with incredible songs including ‘Hard To Say Goodbye’, ‘Father’s Child’, ‘Home Again’, ‘Solid Ground’, ‘Cold Heart’ and ‘Love and Hate’.
The crowd, who braved some unseasonal rain, were also treated to a very special moment as Ivor Novello Award-winner Lianne La Havas joined Michael on stage for a spellbinding rendition of ‘Rule The World’.
Singer songwriter Joel Culpepper opened the show.
Live at The Piece Hall 2024 continues tonight with Underworld, followed by Tom Odell on Sunday night.
The venue will then be gearing up for pop legend Rick Astley, who performs on Sunday, July 7.
