The tour promises to show ‘Shaky’ unveiling another side to his talents, as an artist, songwriter and storyteller.

His Blackpool date is on May 5.

The singer, real name Michael Barratt, who has 33 hit singles and four number ones to his name, became immensely popular in the 1980s and his 1985 Christmas number one – Merry Christmas Everyone – still charts every year.

Speaking about the tour announcement, he said: “I can’t wait to get back on the road, and introduce the songs from ‘Echoes Of Our Times’ to people who have seen me perform in the past, and those who have not.”

The tour is presented by Fylde coast-based event promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
