DARTS legend Bobby George will be stepping up to the oche - and taking on lucky punters in Hereford next week.

The 67-year-old ‘King of Bling’ is widely recognised as one of the sport’s biggest personalities.

George will be joined by his son Richie George and MC Richard Ashdown at Hereford United’s Starlite Rooms.

One of the organisers, Steve Boyle from the Pilgrim Hotel, is excited about the evening of darts.

“Each ticket bought for the event comes with the chance to play against the Georges on the night, so people should sharpen their throwing arms,” said Boyle.

It will be a the first time George and his son have performed together in Herefordshire.

George is a BBC darts commentator and former winner of the News of the World championship.

He is known for his flamboyant entrances and makes his way to the stage decked in jewellery, wearing a crown and cloak and holding a candelabra.

Bobby George said: “There are one or two top players in the area and I hope they come along and join in the fun.”

Richie George said “It’s such an honour to be performing on stage with my dad, who is the best in the business when it comes to exhibitions.”

Golden and silver tickets can be bought from the Starlite Rooms, by calling 0844 2761939; or from the reception desk at the Pilgrim Hotel in Much Birch.
