FORMER dustbin man turned X Factor finalist Andy Abraham will be showing why he won over millions of viewers when he performs in Exmouth next week.

Despite losing out to Shayne Ward in the talent show final two years ago, Andy has gone on to enjoy great success.

The release of his debut album, The Impossible Dream, made chart history, selling 176,689 copies in its first week and reaching platinum status. He sold out London's Royal Albert Hall in 2006.

He is currently touring the UK and next Thursday, June 25, he will be performing at Exmouth Pavilion. The show will feature a great repertoire of songs including covers Ain't No Stopping Us Now, Me and Mrs Jones, I Can't Help Myself, Lovely Day/ Ain't No Sunshine and When a Man Loves a Woman.

Tickets for An Evening with Andy Abraham, starting at 7.30pm, cost £15. Telephone 01395 222477.
