Tickets are now on sale for Russell’s appearance at the Lancaster Grand Theatre on Thursday 21st September.

A “big thing” was made on Twitter and Facebook of Russell performing at Lincoln Drill Hall on Sunday 17th September 2017. Both items were deleted after a few hours but Russell’s proposed appearance is still shown on one of their website’s ‘events‘ pages, so it’s possible that their announcement was just a little premature, pending formal contracts. One to watch if you’re from that neck of the woods.
