JUDITH Owen will perform in Manchester next winter with legendary musicians Leland Sklar and Waddy Wachtel.

Judith is returning to the UK following the release of her acclaimed eighth album Ebb & Flow in April, and a brace of London shows this month.

Leland and Waddy performed on the album.

Described by The New York Times as a "funny and fearless performer", Welsh singer-songwriter Judith promises to enchant audiences with a striking combination of “amusing tales and bewitching tunes”.

She hopes to revive the long-lost musical spirit of the 1970s troubadours that influenced her.

The gig is on March 12 at The Met, Manchester. Visit themet.biz/event/judith+owen/2164 or call 0161 7612216 to book tickets.
