Live music is returning to Hull Central Library, with a visit from singer-songwriter Willie J Healey, as part of Get It Loud in Libraries, in partnership with Hull Libraries.
Now on his third album, the indie, funk and soul singer Willie J Healey will play a special matinee session at the library as part of his 2024 UK tour.
Having collaborated with Jamie T, as well as appearances supporting Florence + the Machine and Arctic Monkeys, Willie J Healy will bring music from his new album ‘Bunny’ to the library on Sunday 12th May at 2:30pm.
