Marti Pellow’s achievements are endless - with a career that has so far seen the record for the longest Number One in UK chart history, to having one of the four biggest selling songs in the UK of all time and consistent chart topping multi-platinum album sales. With leading roles in Chicago and the Witches of Eastwick Marti’s talents have seen him become a Broadway and West End star. Marti continues to be dedicated to his song writing, to creating new music and to pushing the boundaries of what is expected with new album, Boulevard of Life, which is set for release this year. Marti Pellow will play the first half and George Benson will play the second half - making this an entertainment extravaganza!
