Signing to Epic Records in the late 80s, singer-songwriter Beverley Craven broke through to the mainstream in 1991 with her now-classic radio staple ‘Promise Me’ – a #3 UK hit launching her to international success across Europe. Her self-titled debut album – immaculately produced by Paul Samwell-Smith (Carly Simon / Cat Stevens) – was subsequently a huge double-platinum plus seller – staying on the charts for a full year and spinning off more hits with ‘Holding On’, ‘Woman To Woman’ and ‘Memories.’

Having won the ‘Best Newcomer’ Brit award in 1992, Beverley took time off to have her first child, returning in late 1993 with her Gold-selling follow up ‘Love Scenes’. The set displayed a deepening of her exquisitely British brand of chamber pop, featuring guest appearances by Jeff Beck and The London Chamber Orchestra plus a rare cover version of Abba’s ‘The Winner Takes It All.’

After a six-year hiatus to focus on raising her expanding family, Craven returned in 1999 with her final album for Epic, the sweeping, romantic ‘Mixed Emotions’ – her first self-produced outing and arguably her most confessional set including such heartfelt gems as ‘Afraid Of Letting Go’ and ‘I Miss You.’

Following a battle with breast cancer, Beverley has made a welcome return to the spotlight in recent years, joining forces with fellow Brit songbirds Judie Tzuke and Julia Fordham for a hugely successful series of ‘Woman To Woman’ tours and albums.
