THE first must-see gig of the Yorkshire calendar will be Settle blue-eyed soul boy John Newman’s February 4 show at Leeds 02 Aacdemy.

He will be showcasing his break-up album Tribute – 2013’s answer to Adele’s 21 – in the wake of the number one success of Love Me Again and follow-up single Cheating. Earlier, he had risen to the top spot as the guest vocalist and co-writer for Rudimental’s Feel The Love.

Newman blew away everyone else on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny on New Year’s Eve, further enhancing the buzz surrounding the Yorkshire dalesman with the Otis Redding chops. To check ticket availability, visit johnnewman.co.uk
