SINGING sensation and The Voice UK runner up Jolan has announced three local gigs in Cumbria this May.

Jolan will play three shows back in his hometown at Copeland Stadium Marquee in Whitehaven on Friday, May 6, and Saturday, May 21. 

The first show - an Intimate Night with Jolan - is on May 6. The event will be cabaret style seating and only 300 tickets are available. Because of the nature of the event, it is only open to 16s and over. 

Jolan posted on Facebook: "After doing one of these shows last year as Prince I really wanted to do one again - I expect tickets for this one to sell out really quickly they sold out last year in one week!"

The two other shows - a matinee and evening performance with other support acts - will be held at the same venue on Saturday, May 21. 

All ages are welcome to the matinee gig. For both shows there is standing room only. 

Tickets for all the above gigs will go on sale next Tuesday at 9am. They are available at Threads Clothing Whitehaven  and online at the Mighty Boof Promotions
