An end-of-year students' party at a Keighley club has been turned into a Michael Jackson tribute show.

Performers including Keighley singer Alibi Adam will perform Jacko hits and many of the star's singles will be played.

The afternoon event next Wednesday (July 8) at the Blush nightclub has been organised by promoter Sabir "Saby” Hussain.

Saby, who grew up in Keighley, says Jackson was one of the main inspirations for him going into show business.

Saby now organises dance nights in the UK and Middle East, and after-show parties for stars like Black Eyed Peas.

Saby said he cried last week when he heard that Jackson had died, he will to do something in his memory.

He decided to make Wednesday's event, originally aimed at students, a tribute show open to anyone aged 16-plus.

Performers are R&B/pop singer Alibi Adam -- alias Keighley man Arshad Khan -- dance crew Bhangra Niche and Manchester hip hop duo Metz & Trix.

Saby himself will play an hour-long DJ set devoted entirely to Michael Jackson tracks.

Admission to the noon-5pm show is £10 on the door, or £5 with a flyer available beforehand. Phone 07852 176404.
