Popular live music venue St Mary’s Chambers returns with a bang next month, and it’s now or never if you want a ticket.

The Rawtenstall venue will be hosting a variety of (socially distanced) events.

The first to be announced is an exclusive series of ten nights with tribute artist Chris Connor, star of The World Famous Elvis Show from October 10-22.

All ten nights at the Rawtenstall venue went on sale earlier this month to very high demand.

More shows in the coming months will be announced, including the Rossendale Gin Festival, Laid - Tribute to James, Justine Riddoch as Tina Turner and many more.

Connor and his 13-piece live band can usually be found selling out major theatres at home and abroad.

However, due to government guidelines, his live band tour has now been halted until 2021, clearing the way for St Mary’s Chambers to present this run of dates in a one-man show in an intimate setting.

“We are delighted to have secured one of the world’s most popular and record-breaking tribute artists for this exciting run of dates,” said venue owner John Patrick.

“We have a tremendous production in place and fans will have the chance to see this top class tribute artist much closer in the flesh than ever before.”

Talking about his popularity, manager Lisa Mathews said: “Chris has built a huge following all around the world. He is shy and very humble off stage, however on stage he transforms into Elvis. It can be very spooky at times with audience members often left in tears and in shock due to the uncanny likeness in looks, voice and mannerisms.”

The doors will open from 6.45pm, with shows starting at 8pm. To book tickets and for event listings call the box office on 01706 223222, or visit www.stmaryslive.com.
