KYLIE Minogue tribute artist, Joanne Steel, will perform as the Australian pop queen in aid of Cancer Research UK in Kidderminster.

Her appearance at the function will be timely, as the chart-topping star has re-emerged in public life following her own battle with cancer.

Joanne will sing at the second grand summer ball of the fund-raising group at the Gainsborough House Hotel on Saturday, July 22.

The black tie event begins with a champagne reception at 7pm, followed by dinner at 8pm. There is a support disco presented by Phil Pryor. Tickets are available on 07748 623054 or 01299 826673.
