May 21 2009 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

SINGER-songwriter James Morrison will make his MEN Arena debut in Manchester on Sunday, November 29.

Joining him in Manchester will be special guests OneRepublic.

The 24-year-old Cornwall-based hitmaker will be performing songs from his latest album Songs For You, Truths For Me alongside hits from his debut Undiscovered.

Topping the UK album charts on its 2006 release, Undiscovered yielded five hit singles including You Give Me Something, Wonderful World, The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore, Undiscovered and One Last Chance, making him the biggest British male solo artist of that year.

Morrison was rewarded the following year with a 2007 Brit Award for Best Male.

James’ second album Songs For You, Truths For Me was released late last year and has already spawned the chart-topping hits You Make Me Real and the Nelly Furtado duet Broken Strings.

Third single Nothing Ever Hurt Like Love is released on Monday, July 13.

Special guests at Morrison’s Manchester show will be US pop rock band OneRepublic. The Colorado five-piece scored a UK top ten hit last year with their Timbaland collaboration Apologize. The band’s debut album Dreaming Out Loud is out now.

Tickets, priced £27.50, are available on 0844 847 8000 or via www.men-arena.com.
