Excited Olly on his way to Braintree
8:50am Wednesday 27th January 2010 in Olly Murs News By Ryan McCarthy
Guess who's back: Olly Murs will perform in his home district for the first time since the X Factor
Tonight's the night Olly Murs returns.
At Chicago’s at Freeport tonight Olly, 25, will perform his first gig in the district since he finished runner up to Joe McElderry in the ITV show.
From call centre worker to X Factor star in a few short months, Witham’s singing sensation is hoping this year will be as big as the last.
With Olly’s success has come a host of performances at clubs up and down the country, singing in front of thousands of rugby fans at Twickenham and opening the International Boat Show in London.
Last week the former Witham Town footballer was in Colchester taking on just one of many engagements in his busy schedule.
While co-hosting a breakfast radio show at Dream 100 he told the Times he hopes to kick start his career after the X Factor tour finishes in April.
For the full story see the Witham and Braintree Times.
