A LEEDS venue will this month host rising singer-songwriter star Courtney Marie Andrews.

Courtney, who began touring when she was just 16, is about to begin a highly anticipated UK and European tour, including a date at the Brudenell Social Club on August 23.

She has recently released a video for her song “Irene”, and explained: “Irene is the little voice inside most of us, that says we aren’t good enough, or strong enough.

“It’s about shutting that voice off, while also accepting life’s inevitable struggles. It’s about coming to terms with who you are, and believing in that person.”

Doors for the gig open at 7.30pm. Visit brudenellsocialclub.co.uk/whats-on/courtney-marie-andrews/ for tickets and more details.
