Description
Patti Boulaye: Aretha & Me
Millgate Arts Centre, Stonewood Road Delph
October 18th 2019 at 8pm
In this fascinating show, Patti Boulaye compares and contrasts her life with the ‘Queen of Soul’, Aretha Franklin, who had a celebrated career including 17 Top 10 pop singles and 20 number 1 R&B hits during her 5 decades of recording.
Patti will be singing some of her favourite numbers including Respect, I’d Rather Go Blind, Say A Little Prayer, Chain of Fools and Think, as well as many more lesser known Aretha songs.
Patti recently published her remarkable and moving autobiography, The Faith of a Child, that charts her riveting life story through wealth, poverty and civil war, to show-business stardom and success in Britain and her birth country, Nigeria. 2019 also marks the 48th Anniversary of Patti’s West End debut in the musical, Hair.
Patti, who came to prominence as a singer winning the British ITV talent show New Faces(making history by becoming the only contestant ever to receive the maximum 120 points), was awarded an OBE for her charity work in the UK and Sub- Saharan Africa in 2016.

Road Directions
The Millgate Arts Centre is in the centre of Delph, which is one of the beautiful, historic villages that make up the district of Saddleworth - the little slice of Yorkshire that is in the north-eastern part of Greater Manchester (Oldham) that creeps up into foothills the Pennines.
The Millgate Arts Centre is about 12 miles from the centre of Manchester and lies just off the A62, about half way between Manchester and Huddersfield.
Coming from Manchester or Oldham on the A62, about half a mile after passing Albion Farm Shop and Cafe on your left, turn left at The Sound (just before The Old Bell Inn). You will find the Millgate on your left in the centre of the village, opposite the free public car park on Millgate.
It is not far from the M62 motorway - about 5 miles from either Junction 21 (Milnrow) or Junction 22 (Saddleworth) towards Oldham/Manchester.
