A Wrexham venue has confirmed that Jake Bugg will be performing a set there in just a few weeks time.

The singer-songwriter is best known for his 2012 hit 'Lightning Bolt', which has been listened to over 129 million times on Spotify alone.

The 32-year-ol'ds single 'Trouble Town' was used as the theme for all three seasons of the popular BBC TV series Happy Valley.

The Rockin' Chair in Wrexham has today (September 23) confirmed that Bugg will be performing an acoustic set live there on Saturday, November 21.

That is in collaboration with Jacaranda Records and the performance will be followed by a Q&A with Bugg in support of his new album 'Alamo'.

The gig starts from 7pm and tickets will be available to buy from 10am tomorrow (September 24) and can be purchased here.

Bugg was first selected to perform on the "BBC Introducing" stage at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival, aged just 16.

He was then signed to Mercury Records and his songs were then placed on various BBC Radio playlists.

Bugg's self-titled debut album was released on October 15, 2012.

On October 21 of that year, his song 'Two Fingers' charted at 28 in the UK while the album reached number one in the UK charts.

The album has reportedly sold 604,100 copies in the United Kingdom and is the 57th best selling album of the 2010's decade.
