County date for top singer Cerys
Friday 31st July 2009, 11:29AM BST.
One of Britain’s leading female artists and star of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is set to appear in Ludlow.
Cerys Matthews, who found fame with songs such as Mulder and Scully and Londinium as lead singer of Welsh rock band Catatonia, is to appear at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on October 30.
Cerys will be taking to the stage at the venue from 7.30pm.
She is touring to promote her new album Don’t Look Down, which will be released in both English and Welsh on September 28.
Many fans remember her for her performance with Tom Jones when they teamed up to produce a Christmas duet in 1999, Baby it’s Cold Outside.
But Cerys has come a long way since her time as lead singer of Catatonia, critics say.
Now busier than ever, she recently won the Eisteddfod award for contemporary song – the first time it had been bestowed in seven years.
It is Cerys’s wide-ranging and discerning taste in music which has led to her hosting her own daily radio show on BBC 6′s Music as well as writing and presenting a variety of TV programmes.
During her performance she will feature old and new songs written and collected by Cerys during her far-reaching travels and will be backed by two of Nashville’s finest young musicians, Kevin Teel and Mason Neely.
Tickets cost £20. A limited number of free tickets are available for young people under 26.
