Starting out as a pub singer to support his young family, Watson won a ‘Search for a Star’ competition in 1990, then cut his first record, The Voice, in 2001, which became a UK and US number one.
He has since made nine albums to date, picking up a quartet of BRITs on the way, and has performed for The Queen, the Pope and former US President Bill Clinton, while collaborating with pop superstars from Meatloaf to Cliff Richard.
The New York Times said of the tenor: “He sings like Pavarotti and entertains like Sinatra.”
He’ll be in town on 18 March, 7.30pm, and tickets are £27.50-£47.50.
