X-Factor star Rebecca Ferguson to play two dates at Rhyl Pavilion

Dec 22 2011 Flintshire Chronicle

THE Pavilion Theatre in Rhyl has announced that X Factor’s 2010 runner up Rebecca Ferguson will be appearing as part of her first ever tour on February 17 and 18.

Just over a year ago, this painfully shy mother-of-two was shown auditioning for The X Factor.

What is surely one of the best audition sequences ever shown on the programme struck a chord with the nation.

It seemed that this was a voice destined never to be heard. Then she opened her mouth and her stunningly raw rendition of Sam Cooke’s classic A Change Is Gonna Come set the bar on the show.

She ultimately came second and, for the past year, the Liverpudlian world-class singer/songwriter has been able to hone her writing skills and to channel that remarkable soul voice into a stunning selection of songs.

Tickets are priced £25. Call the box office on 01745 330000.

Rebecca Ferguson’s debut album, entitled Heaven, is available now.
