The six-date stretch ends at St Nicolas Church on September 28.

At each stop on the tour, Russell, keen to promote and support local talent whenever possible, will be supported on stage by a local choir.

Any vocal ensembles and choirs from the area of each show can apply by sending in an example piece of their work as a group. Details of how will follow.

Russell Watson's unique voice has captivated audiences around the world, earning him numerous awards and accolades including four Classical Brit awards.

The world-renowned tenor will be performing a special show with classic songs old and new, together with a selection of his most loved hits from his illustrious career. He will be accompanied by his arranger and pianist Mike Moran.

After a successful run throughout 2023 and Spring 2024, the tour promises to give fans a special experience, as Watson continues to perform in some of the UK's most stunning and historic venues.

Once described by the New York Times as a performer “who sings like Pavarotti and entertains the audience like Sinatra”, Russell has over the years released 10 studio albums, each receiving more critical acclaim than the last.

"It was an honour to perform in some of the UK's most beautiful cathedrals in 2023 and earlier this year" he said. "These venues have a special place in the hearts of so many people and I am honoured to be able to perform in them and carry on sharing my music with fans old and new."

He has sold more than seven million albums and performed for the Queen, the Pope and two US Presidents.

Captivating to watch and enchanting to listen to, Russell wins over audiences with his enigmatic and entertaining live performances.
