IAN Prowse - lead singer of the mighty Amsterdam and former frontman of the legendary Pele - will return to the Appletreewick's Cruck Barn next Friday, April 29.

Currently riding a wave of press plaudits and national radio play for his new album, Companeros, Ian has been described as the Scouse Springsteen.

His celebrity fans include Elvis Costello, Christy Moore and Janice Long and his song, Does This Train Stop On Merseyside?, used to regularly reduce the late John Peel to nostalgic tears.

The gig starts at 7.30pm and support will be given by Plumhall - a feisty Yorkshire based duo who deliver guitar and harmony driven textures of folk, Americana and pop.
