Innervisions Festival Presents - Mavis Staples
  • UK Regional & Tours

Mavis Staples' recording career spans from the 1950s to the current day. In the '60s her band The Staple Singers were heavily aligned with the burgeoning American Civil Rights movement, she also dated Bob Dylan for many years and her songs have been covered by The Rolling Stones. Throughout the '70s Mavis had huge hits with tracks such as Respect yourself, I'll take you there and Let's do it again. Mavis Staples is widely credited as one of the greatest Gospel Soul voices of all time. She is a Hall Of Fame inductee and had a huge UK hit Nina Cried Power last year with Hozier. Following two sell out dates at Innervisions 2018, Mavis is back in 2019, by popular demand.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
