Multi-platinum British soul star Kenny Thomas is coming to Glusburn Institute with his new theatre show, Thinking About Your Love – An Evening of Stories and Songs, on October 23, 2027.

The event will feature acoustic renditions of his songs, including “Thinking About Your Love”, “Outstanding” and “Best of You”, alongside stories from his life and career.

Thomas has sold millions of records and performed at arenas across the UK. The show will bring songs and stories to the community venue, in a setting away from a large venue.

Glusburn Institute Centre Manager Debby Richardson said: “We're thrilled to be bringing an artist of Kenny Thomas's stature to Glusburn.

"This is exactly the kind of show our venue was made for — his songs mean so much to so many people, and hearing the stories behind them in a room this size will be something really special.

"We expect tickets to move fast, so we'd encourage anyone interested to book early.”

Glusburn Institute is a charity-run, community-owned venue offering a setting for live music and theatre. It is five miles from Skipton, six miles from Keighley and eight miles from Colne, and has free on-site parking.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on September 11, 2026.

Tickets can be booked on 01535 630 223 or at gicac.org.uk/whats-on, with meet-and-greet and premium seating options available.

Thomas’s appearance is being promoted as an opportunity for local audiences to see the performer up close, with an evening combining music and personal stories.
