GARETH Gates returns to Bingley on July 17 when he appears at the Arts Centre following his sold out show there last year.

Fresh from success on both Dancing on Ice and The Big Reunion TV shows, this show comes at Gareth’s personal request, preferring to play Bingley again as opposed to an offer to play a larger venue in Leeds, his loyal fans also campaigned on social media for a Bingley return.

Accompanied by his regular guitarist and piano player, expect an intimate evening of hits and new songs.

Opening the show will be local acoustic Americana outfit Down Reno, recently confirmed for a slot at Bingley Music Live.

Tickets £20 from 01274 567983 or www.ticketsource.co.uk/bingleyartscentre.
