The Pavilion Theatre, Rhyl are very excited to announce that X Factor’s 2010 runner up – Rebecca Ferguson will be appearing with us as part of her first ever tour on Friday 17th & Saturday 18th February.
If pop music is infinitely surprising then the often circuitous route that brings a major star to our attention is surely exemplified in the wonderful Rebecca Ferguson.
Just over a year ago, this painfully shy mother of two was shown auditioning for The X Factor. In what is surely one of the best audition sequences ever shown on the programme – struck a chord with the nation. It seemed that this was a voice destined never to be heard. Then she opened her mouth and her stunningly raw rendition of Sam Cooke’s classic “A Change Is Gonna Come” set the bar on the show, oh, just a million miles higher….
It’s immaterial that she came second on the show – perhaps even preferable, as it has meant that the last year has allowed this Liverpudlian world-class singer/songwriter to hone her writing skills and to channel that remarkable soul voice into a selection of songs that will establish this 25 year old as the voice of her generation, and a global superstar.
