HE has endured more than his share of setbacks, tragedy and hardship. Now just weeks away from realising his dream of training at a prestigious performing art school, Sam Wearing will take audiences on his personal journey so far at his debut solo concert at the Arts Centre on Saturday.

The 22-year-old from Cheney Manor will perform specially-selected musical theatre classics and pop songs - all of which proved a lifeline as he dealt with the sudden death of his mother and an injury that nearly curtailed his ambition to work in the West End.

An Evening with Sam Wearing starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £11. To book visit swindontheatres.co.uk or call 01793 524481.
