He has played more than 100 live gigs in 2022 and now he's coming to north Norfolk. 

Rupert Wates, who has won more than 50 awards for his songwriting, will perform at Sharrington Village Hall on Saturday, January 14.

The London-born, US-based musician has an eclectic style, drawn from acoustic, melodic art and folk, with flavours of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret.

Mr Wates has released 11 full-length albums, with each receiving positive reviews, and his music has been played by radio stations in the USA, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel and Australia.

Tickets for the gig, which starts at 7.30pm, are £8 and available online from www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rupert-wates-tickets.

The village hall is hosting a series of concerts throughout the year, following the success of past shows.

The most recent, featuring Gordon Giltrap, was a sell-out with 90 people in the audience.

The gig made just over £1,000 which will be put towards repairs to the hall's roof.
