Rock singer Paul Weller will begin his rearranged national tour with a concert at Victoria Hall, in Keighley.

The Modfather will play the gig, originally planned for November 5, on February 13 and then go on to play 15 dates around the UK.

Tickets for the original concert -- which was cancelled after Weller got a throat infection -- are still valid.

Keighley music promoter Roger Nowell, Weller's guitar technician, this week confirmed that he had booked Victoria Hall for the rescheduled concert.

The news was revealed four days after Weller's record company announced new dates for the main tour, running from February 17 to March 10, and taking in 11 cities.

The original Keighley concert sold out within 70 minutes after hundreds of people queued throughout the night to buy tickets.

Many were left angry because each customer was allowed to buy four tickets and some went on sale on the Internet for more than £400 for a pair.

Tickets-holders who cannot attend on the new date can take their tickets back to Speaks outdoor shop, in Keighley, for a full refund.

Tickets are still available for some of the other concerts on Weller's national tour.
