Rock n roll singer Shakin' Stevens is to begin his biggest-ever UK tour in Carlisle.

The Welsh star is visiting 33 towns and cities across England, Scotland and Wales in 2017.

Stevens, who recently released his 12th studio album, Echoes Of Our Times, has had 33 top 40 singles, including This Ole House, Green Door, Oh Julie and Merry Christmas Everyone.

He'll take to the Sands Centre stage in Carlisle on Saturday, April 15 and wind up the tour on May 28 in Hastings.

Speaking about the tour, the platinum-selling singer/songwriter said: “I can’t wait to get back on the road and introduce the songs from Echoes Of Our Times to people who have seen me perform in the past and those who have not.”

During the show he will perform classic hits together with tracks from Echoes Of Our Times, which blends blues, roots, Americana and classic rock.

Concert tickets are priced from £24 and will go on sale at 9am on Friday.
