After a couple of years' absence, Beverley Knight is back and on incredible form.

Performing to an almost sell-out crowd she is sassy, powerful and totally in control.

Backed by a band who love her as much as she loves them, Beverley has the air of a diva but without the Maria Carey attitude.

She enjoys working up a sweat and encourages her audience to do the same.

Dressed in a waspy black and yellow top, tight jeans and sexy red high-heel boots, she bumps and grinds her way through this classy performance.

Two of her backing singers are from Brighton and when they perform an En Vogue-style r'n'b a capella track they are greeted with home-coming pride. With a voice that rivals r'n'b contemporaries such as Mary J Blige, Whitney and Alicia Keys, Beverley is a singing legend.

The audience went as mad for older tracks as they did for recent hits such as Shoulda Woulda Coulda and Who I Am. Beverley is back to claim the title of UK r'n'b queen.
