EVESHAM'S famous son, Alistair McGowan, will be returning to the Midlands when he performs at the Ledbury Poetry Festival.

Famous for his TV work and impersonations, the festival will provide a chance to see a different side of 'the man of a thousand voices' as he reads his poetry.

He is due to appear at the Community Centre in Ledbury on June 30, at 6.15pm. Tickets (£8) available from 0845 4581743.
