BRITAIN'S Got Talent semi-finalist Henry Gallagher will be performing live in Cumbria in May.

The 13-year-old singer-songwriter wowed the judges on the hit ITV show, and now he is ready to wow an audience at The Nines, in Barrow, on Saturday May 14.

Henry shot to fame last April on national TV, as he performed his song Lightning at his audition, which lifted the roof off a packed Lowry Theatre in Manchester and again at the televised live shows in London. 

A singer, guitarist and songwriter from Wigan, he learned to play guitar at the age of seven and began singing and performing live a year later.

He has written a number of original songs, including Lightning, Butterflies, Best Thing Ever, Explode and Time of my Life, and is now playing to audiences up and down the country with his exciting stage performances at numerous live events. 

Henry has performed many times in Cumbria at events for The Bay radio station, and he will be appearing in Furness again at this August's Kidfest.

The youngster is now managed by Bluebody Management and with the help of his new producer Rod Futrille, is going to be releasing his new single, Butterflies, very soon, with a video also on the way.

In June, Henry will be heading across to Germany for an exciting but top secret project out there. 

The show at The Nines on Saturday 14 runs from 1pm to 3pm, and will also feature a support act and an exclusive meet and greet with Henry. Tickets are available in advance from the venue, in Dalkeith Street, and under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.
