An Evening with Philippa Hanna and Out of the Ashes

Philippa Hanna

Philippa Hanna is an internationally acclaimed performer racking up over 1500 shows in 25 countries. Since her industry debut in 2007, she has released 6 critically acclaimed studio albums and published three books, winning fans in the likes of Leona Lewis, Lionel Richie and Little Mix. Philippa Hanna has also recently won Female Gospel Artist of the Year across genres at the StepFWD Awards 2023. 

Known for her relevant songs and soulful, Country-tinged vocals, Philippa as a singer-songwriter is a rarity in the UK Music Industry, bridging the elusive gap between Gospel, Pop and Country music. With ‘A voice to die for, a talented songwriter and a joy to be around’ say Lulu, Philippa has drawn comparisons to the likes of Ed Sheeran, Dolly-Parton and Taylor Swift. ‘Move over Taylor Swift’ [Maverick Magazine].

As well as annual headline tours in the UK, Philippa has toured with Wet, Wet, Wet, performed at the prestigious London Palladium an impressive 6 times as a support act, the 02 Arena and a sold-out Royal Albert Hall in May 2019 as special guest for Royal wedding singers ‘The Kingdom Choir’.

As a friend of Stroud for years now, Philippa headlined a sold-out gig at St Laurence church in 2017 and performed at the Family Fun Days in 2012 and 2019. Regarding her headline act in the grand finale of this year’s Festival of Wonder Philippa says: “I'm thrilled to finally return to Stroud for a fun filled evening! Can't wait to see you there.'

The Yorkshire born, half-Irish, Philippa grew up around award-winning and internationally acclaimed musicians. Brother Stuart Zender was a founding member of Platinum selling Acid-Jazz/Pop act Jamiroquai, whilst first cousins Danny & Richard Macnamara enjoyed huge success as half of UK rock band Embrace.
