An acclaimed duo will be celebrating the songs of Sir Elton John at a concert in Cockermouth next week.

Your Song will be performed by singer-songwriter John Reilly and pianist and composer Lewis Nitikman at the Kirkgate Centre.

A spokesman said: "This is not a tribute, so no dressing up, no miming and no backing tracks. Just two consummate professionals celebrating amazing, timeless songs performed from the heart with passion and musical excellence."

Your Song has recently been staged at Sheffield City Hall, Epstein Theatre Liverpool, Lamproom Theatre Barnsley, Alexander’s Chester and Acapela Studios, Cardiff, all ending with standing ovations.

Paul James, programme director at Acapela Studio described it as "a brilliant night of outstanding musicianship".

"The sound that Your Song create is amazing. The audience were mesmerised," he said.

Your Song will be in Cockermouth on Saturday, June 3.
