SOUL stars rolled up in style to promote the opening of a musical yesterday.

Cast members of Hold On, a soul-inspired musical which opened at Durham's Gala theatre last night, posed with a £120,000 convertible BMW ZX, of the type used in the James Bond films.

The show, which runs until Saturday, March 16, stars the award-winning West End performer, Ruby Turner, and tells the story of a band about to hit the big time and its manager's arch-rival's attempt to thwart its success.

To accommodate the musical, Gala has been converted to a flat floor venue, with cabaret-style tables and chairs for the first time.
