MIMI WEBB
29-Oct-21 Poetry Club
Mimi Webb projects a voice as magnetic, massive, and magical as her personality. As “the girl next door” with a hell of vocal range, she’s quick to laugh, will let you know precisely what’s on her mind, and isn’t afraid to be heard. Originally hailing from Canterbury, the pop singer and songwriter turns up the volume on every emotion with skyscraping runs and open-heart honesty. The tour is fresh off the back of the huge success of single Good Without which has gone silver and seen her notch up 10 weeks in the UK Top 20 (including two in the Top 10).
