Get intimate with singer Paolo
POP star Paolo Nutini played to tens of thousands of fans when he supported The Rolling Stones at Don Valley Stadium.
But just a lucky few will see his next concert in the city - and you can't even buy a ticket.
He is the latest star to agree to an Intimate Performance, organised by Real Radio and Sheffield City Council, at the Winter Garden, on Sunday, May 31.
It follows similar performances there, for just 200 or so people, by The Feeling, Alison Moyet and Squeeze man Glenn Tilbrook. Most of the tickets will be given away to Real Radio listeners – but The Star has teamed up with the station to also give readers and web users the chance to win tickets next week. Listen to Real Radio and watch this space.
Scottish singer-songwriter Nutini, aged 22, whose father is Italian, burst onto the music scene with his debut album These Streets, which spawned the smash hit singles Last Request, Jenny Don't Be Hasty, Rewind and New Shoes.
He is currently enjoying success with the haunting new single Candy, from his forthcoming album, Sunny Side Up, out next month.
Steve South, Managing Director of Real Radio said: "We're honoured to get him. His reputation as a live performer goes before him and I know this is going to be great evening and a very hot ticket."
Sheffield City Council leader Coun Paul Scriven said: "This is a real coup for the city.
"Fifty tickets have been allocated to Sheffield's Youth Council and the BiG project for young people, giving the city's youngsters recognition for their hard work and achievements."
n Morrissey, currently on a sold out UK tour, will play Sheffield City Hall on Friday, October 30. Tickets 32.50, may be subject to a booking fee, are available on Sheffield 0114-278 9789.
