SINGING sensation Russell Watson will perform at a Dorset church this autumn.

The celebrated British tenor will visit Christchurch Priory on September 24 as part of his Magnificent Buildings Tour.

The tour will see Russell perform 19 shows in some of the country’s most stunning and historic abbeys and cathedrals.

Accompanied by his pianist and arranger, Mike Moran, Russell will perform a selection of his most beloved hits, spanning his illustrious career.

Russell said: "Performing in these magnificent venues is truly a dream come true. Each location has its own unique charm and history, which adds a magical element to every performance. No two shows are the same which makes it incredibly exciting and humbling to be able to sing in these incredible settings.”

Approaching the 25th anniversary of his debut award-winning album, The Voice, Russell’s talent has earned him numerous awards, including four Classical Brit Awards.
