A LEGENDARY musician who performed with Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton is making a one-off appearance at Worden Arts Centre in Worden Park, Leyland.

Piano player and songwriter Tony O'Malley will be joined on stage by Preston-born singer Ken Nicol. Between them they are set to rock the rafters with their funky blues and jazz classics.

Tony moved on from Arrival, after top 20 hits like Friends and I Will Survive, to playing with seventies band Kokomo in the seventies.

He soon got noticed by stars like the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, before being called up by legendary Manchester band 10CC.

Tony toured with the soft-rock group for years, helping out on tracks like Rubber Bullets, I'm Not in Love and Life is a Minestrone.

But Tony left to concentrate on his solo career, becoming a much-loved face on the London jazz scene, and now spends much of his time locked away in his home studio.

Now the versatile singer will be stopping off at Leyland's finest venue which is the regular home to C'est Tous Theatre Company.

Later this month it is set to be transformed for the night to become an atmospheric home for some of the best jazz sounds the area has heard.

And Ken, formerly of Nicol and Marsh's Easy Street, with Pete Marsh, with three albums in USA to sing about, will be a worthy partner for Tony's show. He even worked with singer Al Stewart.

So if you're a lover of blues, soul, jazz or ragtime, order your tickets now for this once-in-a-lifetime concert.

They will be appearing at the Worden Arts Centre, Worden Park, Leyland, on Monday, June 24, from 7.15pm.
