Oct 7 2009 by Paul Glynn, Ellesmere Port Pioneer

DR HOOK frontman, Dennis Locorriere arrives in Runcorn this month, armed with his trusty guitar.

The talented troubadour, who has notched up 60 gold and platinum albums and gained number one chart status in more than 42 countries, appropriately tours as The Voice of Dr Hook.

Locorriere’s solo performances include songs from his past, as well as newer material from his solo period, including the CDs Out Of The Dark and One Of The Lucky Ones.

His songs have been recorded by Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson and most recently rock ‘n’ roll legend, Jerry Lee Lewis.

As a member of Dr Hook, he enjoyed worldwide success with million selling singles Sylvia’s Mother, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman and A Little Bit More.

Locorriere toured the UK in early 2008, as part of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings.

He will be at the Brindley on Saturday, October 10 at 8pm.

Tickets (£18) are available from the box office on 0151 907 8360 or www. thebrindley.org.uk.
