One of Macclesfield's most famous residents is to perform at a historic Cheshire theatre this weekend.

Noddy Holder MBE, who is often associated with Christmas from his days in the band Slade, will appear in a pre-festive evening of musical entertainment this Friday.

Noddy will take to the stage with Cheshire pianist Tom Seals, in Crewe this Friday December 1.

The Tom Seals Christmas Spectacular will take place at the Crewe Lyceum, and feature the famous 77-year-old.

Noddy who lives in Prestbury, has recently come out with news of his cancer diagnosis, but this hasn't stopped him from the spotlight and performing.

Tom, who is originally from Crewe, will be performing with Noddy for the sixth time.

"I'm so excited to be returning to my hometown theatre," said Tom.

"I'll be joined by my world-class band and a few special guests… including Noddy Holder! It's not Christmas until he says so!

"It'll be a great evening of boogie woogie, blues, swing ala Jools Holland style with guests popping into to sing a few! It'll be an incredible weekend as we're at The Lyceum on the Friday, and then the most famous jazz club in the world, Ronnie Scott's, on the Sunday!

"I'm looking forward to being back home and seeing everyone to start the Christmas season off in style!" 

And Tom is used to performing with the stars, having shared the stage with Gregory Porter, Jamie Cullum and Hugh Laurie.

He has even been in a group which supported Pink Floyd. Tom also has a show on Sky TV where he interviews celebs.

"I love working with Noddy," added Tom.

"In every show we've done, I'm sat at the piano chatting with him and there's some real 'pinch me!' moments!

"I see the love he so rightly gets from all over the world, and I realise how fortunate I am to be sitting there chatting with a real national treasure. 

"We share a love of the same rock 'n' roll music and I think he really loves being back on stage and singing a few tunes with my incredible band.

"We've done a few Little Richard tunes, and it's going back to the music Noddy first fell in love with. So he's happy, I'm happy, the audience happy… it's such a thrill to be working with him!" 

And the 77-year-old isn't the only celebrity guest on the night, as Sandi Thom, best-known for her Number 1 single I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair), will also be singing.
