Tunde Baiyewu

Join us at the Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall Theatre on Saturday 22 November for a unique concert as Tunde celebrates 30 years of Ocean Drive, Postcards From Heaven plus much more.

With his unique sound and timeless songs, Tunde Baiyewu remains a prominent figure in the world of soul and R&B music.

Tunde was born in London but moved to Nigeria at the age of five. Ten years later he returned to Britain, attending the University of Northumbria in Newcastle upon Tyne, and obtained a degree in accounting. He subsequently met Paul Tucker who was also studying at university in Newcastle and working in the bar scene – their partnership began, and they formed Lighthouse Family.Tunde’s first, self – titled solo album, was released in 2004, with his second solo album, ‘Diamond in a Rock’, released in 2013.

Over the past few years, Tunde has been working on a new collection of recordings, inspired by the artists and the singer-songwriter era of the 1970’s.

Reunited with Lighthouse Family producer Mike Peden, they have recorded a selection of Troubadour influenced songs.
