Sounds like a fantastic evening planned for Salford. And even at £20 for non locals that is a bargain for Russell  |

Another article about the concert in the Salford Advertiser
| Quote: | Russell said: "I’m incredibly excited about the forthcoming concert, I think for every artist there is something special about performing in your home town. With the events of the last 12 months in mind I know it is going to be an extra special evening. I’ve had such amazing backing and support from local people over the last few months and it has been incredibly touching.
"I’d like to give them something back, and an evening to remember for all." |
