Joss Stone is to perform at the opening night of her mother’s new club in Exeter.
The soul singer’s mum Wendy Joseph and husband Jonathan are the new owners of The Hub on Mary Arches Street, which they will rename Mama Stone’s when it opens in August as a live music venue.
Joss, 22, is currently touring in Europe and will perform with her band on the night of the grand opening in early September, reports the Exeter Express and Echo.
Her mum said: “We are getting to work straight away with redecorating and painting the place, and the ’soft opening’ as they say in the US will take place in August, followed by a grand opening in the first week in September.
“Joss is looking forward to performing here as she really likes Exeter. We will release dates nearer the time. There will also be some other big name bands, which I can’t confirm yet.”
Plans for Mama Stone’s include a performance stage for live music, a bar, a kitchen serving food and a recording studio.
The decision to buy the property came after Wendy’s Wellington music academy, the original Mama Stone’s, was closed down following complaints over noise.
Wendy said they were “devastated” about closing the Wellington venue but added that they are “delighted to create an even bigger and better Mama Stone’s” in Exeter.
