The organisers of a gig by a former Spice Girl said it was amazing to be able to bring a world-famous name to a church in their small town.
Melanie Chisholm, best known as Mel C, played to an audience of about 350 at St Mary’s in Nantwich, Cheshire, on Monday night as part of the launch of her new album Sweat.
“This gig sold out in nine minutes,” said Dani Cook, from independent record shop Applestump who staged the intimate show, who described the day as “very unusual and surreal”.
Fans came from far and wide, she said, including one from Italy, and the buzz around the gig had been brilliant.
