The Wizard of OZ has landed

If you want to catch the great James Morrison in concert this weekend then you still have a chance if you can get to Worthing on Sunday.

James Morrison
 

A very special guest performer has just touched down in the UK to showcase his unique musical talents.

The 'Wizard of Oz' himself — James Morrison, accompanied by his own band, will be the guests of the Royal Marines Association Concert Band in a concert that cannot be missed.

Favourites

James will be performing in both halves of the concert which takes place on Sunday 26th June at 7.30pm at the Assembly Hall, Worthing — with a few tickets still available to be snapped up.

Favourites such as his amazing playing of 'Basin Street Blues' and 'The Flintstones Theme' are on the menu — plus, much, much, more.

Also joining him will be the Corps of Drums from The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Collingwood, whilst the Concert Band themselves have plenty of fantastic musical delights to thrill the audience.

Amazing prospect

Director of Music, Major Tony Smalwood MA PGDip BMus LRSM RM, told 4BR: "We are delighted at the prospect of performing with the amazing James Morrison.

I was lucky enough to perform with him and the Royal Australian Navy Band in South Australia 16 years ago, and can't quite believe that I will perform with him again this weekend."
