IPSWICH: Singer-songwriter Richard Hawley's tour date in Ipswich has switched venues due to poor ticket sales

The Sheffield-based musician, who released his sixth album Truelove's Gutter on Monday, was due to appear at Ipswich Regent on Tuesday.

But the concert has now been switched to the town's Corn Exchange. A spokesman for the venue said: “The promoters apologise for the inconvenience this may cause but fewer sales were attained than anticipated.

“Rather than cancel the entire show the decision was made to utilise a slightly smaller venue where a more intimate atmosphere can be achieved. The content of the show will remain the same.”

Tickets can be bought by calling 01473 433100.
