FANS of singer Amy Macdonald will be delighted to know that she will undertake her first UK tour in four years in 2017.

She will be playing a run of 13 dates in March and April, including a visit to Birmingham.

The tour will open in Bristol and close in Aberdeen and will also take in cities including Manchester, London and Dublin.

Still only 29 years old, Amy has released three albums and sold over five million records worldwide - including 1.5 million here in the UK.

She has performed to over three million people across the world and spent the summer splitting her time between the recording studio and headlining festivals across Europe.

Her tour visit to Birmingham will be at Symphony Hall on Thursday, March 30, for an evening performance.

Meanwhile tickets are already on sale for another Symphony Hall concert in March which will see one of the pop world’s enduring names back in Birmingham.

After five decades of making music, Gilbert O’Sullivan still finds new ways to tell stories through songs.

On Monday, March 6 (7.30pm) he will be performing favourites from across his career along with material from his new album Latin ala G.

Birmingham’s Town Hall venue will be hosting a special concert by Elkie Brooks, quite simply one of the most successful and popular singers the UK has ever produced.

She will be there on Saturday, February 18 (7.30pm).

And due to overwhelming demand, the multi-platinum selling vocal harmony group, G-4, will be bringing their trademark harmonies back to Birmingham in 2017.

They will be ‘Live In Concert’ at the Town Hall on Friday, March 17 (7.30pm).

And make a note of another Town Hall date for next May.

That’s when one of the most important bands in the history of British music - to the development of symphonic rock and indeed prog rock - Procol Harum, embark on a very special UK tour.

This will be in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the band - always remembered for their song Knights in White Satin, with the tour opening at the iconic Birmingham venue on Thursday, May 11 (7.30m).
