Jazz legend Georgie Fame’s triumphant return to his home town is fast
approaching and organisers are urging Fame fans to get their tickets
soon; before it becomes a complete sell out.
Leigh born Georgie will be performing with his sons at the Monaco
Ballroom, Hindley on Tuesday 21st November. Demand for tickets has been
so overwhelming that the much-anticipated concert is already heading
towards capacity.
Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust’s Leisure Venues manager Brian Yates,
says, “We are not surprised that Georgie Fame has proved so popular, but
we would urge his fans to snap up their tickets soon as we are already
nearing 80 per cent full – a week ahead of the concert. It’s going to be
a great night.”
At the time of the gig’s announcement, Georgie said, “This is going to
be a fantastic night – a really emotional return for me and my boys. We
are delighted to be playing together just down the road from where I was
born and we promise to put on a great show. I’ll be playing all of my
most popular tunes plus a few little surprises.”
Georgie’s performance is part of a UK tour that celebrates a career
spanning four decades. His musical career began in the early sixties
playing piano in a string of backing groups including ‘Billy Fury and
the Blue Flames’. Georgie eventually led the Blue Flames himself and
became, and still is, one of the most accomplished organ players of his
generation.
Tickets for ‘Georgie Fame and Sons’ are on sale now, priced at £12 (£10
concessions). Doors open at 7.30pm on Tuesday 21st November at the
Monaco Ballroom, Hindley. Please contact the booking office on 01942
