Singer Shakin' Stevens is to perform a gig in Norwich as part of his biggest ever UK tour.

The singer, who has recently released his 12th studio album, called Echoes Of Our Times, will be at Norwich Theatre Royal on Sunday, May 7 next year.

Shakin' Stevens was the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s and has 33 hit singles and four UK number ones to his name including This Ole House, Green Door, Oh Julie and Merry Christmas Everyone.

About his new tour, he 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.'
