UP and coming musician Georgie will be joining Jake Bugg for his concert at Leeds Grand Theatre on March 4.

The singer has previously supported the likes of Blossoms, and this time promises rock ’n’ soul flair and material from her adventurous new EP Too Much TV.

The Mansfield troubadour has recorded three songs highlighting her rich, powerful vocals and deft songwriting.

Georgie had a promising career in professional football looming ahead of her, but the sudden discovery of a guitar and her uncle’s record collection whisked her off the pitch and into her bedroom to hone her musical craft.

She quickly mastered the art of blagging her way into pubs underage in order to play open mic nights, and it wasn’t long before her rich soulful voice and honest, reflective songwriting had earned her local notoriety.

After one pub crowd demanded a fourth set from her in a single evening, she failed the next day’s history GCSE exam due to the exhaustion.

A spokesman said: “Since then Georgie has fulfilled support duties for stars ranging from Blossoms to Jack Savoretti, and was flown out to Virginia, USA to record her debut single ‘Company Of Thieves’ with the legendary Matthew E White and his Spacebomb house band.

“Blending her British Grit with such an accomplished American Soul band resulted in a truly spellbinding single that earned Georgie spots on a whole host of watch lists for 2017.”

The concert begins at 7.30pm. Call the box office on 0844 848 2700 for tickets.
