Joan Armatrading has an Ivor Novello Award for her outstanding songwriting, been nominated for BRIT & Grammy Awards, and was awarded a CBE in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to music, charity and equal rights.
Growing up in the West Midlands, her mum famously exchanged a couple of prams at a local pawn shop to buy her first guitar.
