A Night of Sade in Bristol

A tribute night celebrating the music of the British band Sade, staged at O2 Academy Bristol, which hosts concerts and shows in the city. It is not a performance by the band itself.

Sade is a British band formed in London in 1982 around the vocals of Sade Adu, with Stuart Matthewman on saxophone and guitar, Andrew Hale on keyboards and Paul Denman on bass. Their blend of soul, jazz and pop debuted on the album Diamond Life (1984), which included the singles Smooth Operator and Your Love Is King. Later songs such as No Ordinary Love and By Your Side remain among their best-known recordings.

A Night of Sade in Bristol is a tribute to that catalogue, so the songs are performed by other musicians rather than by Sade. The evening is staged at O2 Academy Bristol, a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows, and it suits listeners who want to hear the band's well-known material performed live.
