Alfie Boe announces 2018 hometown show

Alfie Boe will play a show at his hometown of Fleetwood in Lancashire on 2 Jun next year at Fleetwood Town Football Club’s Highbury Stadium.

“Being Fleetwood born and bred and a fully fledged member of the Cod Army it’s an honour and a privilege to be performing back in my home town and at my team’s home ground”.

The Cod Army is Fleetwood Town FC’s nickname apparently – he’s not about to lead an army of fish to rise up and overpower humanity, starting with the residents of Fleetwood. I don’t think so anyway. If he is planning to do that, it would be pretty stupid to announce it in a press release. Could be a double bluff though. Be vigilant.

Two pounds from each ticket sold for the event will be donated to the town’s Trinity Hospice, of which Boe is a patron.

“This is quite incredible news for the hospice”, says its Head Of Fundraising Linzi Young. “Alfie has been our patron for five years and has helped us launch various fundraising campaigns, has sent videos of support for events such as our annual ball, and has also sent private messages to some of our patients and their families facing very difficult circumstances”.

She continues: “He is a man with a big heart, as well as a big voice. His global fanbase is a window on the world for us; fans from across all continents get involved and send donations to Trinity in his name. We feel very privileged indeed to have the support of Alfie and his team”.

Tickets for the show go on sale on 24 Nov.
