JAZZ and soul singing sensation Gregory Porter is bringing his brand of cool to Dorset next year.

Tickets are now on sale for the gig at Concert Hall, Lighthouse, Poole, on Thursday April 21 from 7pm.

The Grammy award winner is stopping in Poole as part of his 16 date tour around the UK.

It opens on April 4 at the Royal Albert Hall, London and concludes on April 24 at the Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Gregory Porter continues to perform to sell-out audiences across the world and has achieved international recognition and acclaim with his Grammy-winning album Liquid Spirit.

On the back of a steaming set at Glastonbury and other recent shows - critics have called Porter a new 'king of jazz' and a 'leader of the pack' – a performer of extraordinary presence who has compared with the greatest of the greats, such as Joe Williams, Nat Cole, Donny Hathway and Marvin Gaye.
