Brad said: "It’s an absolute honour to be playing at the Randox Grand National at Aintree. I've always lived so close to the racecourse and loved to watch it every year; to say this year I’m going to be a part of it is a massive privilege for me.
“I can’t wait to spread joy through my music at such a prestigious event and it’s so important to me that the Grand National is such a significant part of the Liverpool community.”
Dickon White, regional director, The Jockey Club, North West, added: “Liverpool is a city with a strong and varied musical heritage so we are very proud to announce today that Brad has kindly agreed to be a community ambassador.
“Brad has a tremendous talent and we are thrilled that he will be performing at the Randox Grand National Weights Lunch in February, when the countdown to the great race begins in earnest, as well as on Grand National Day itself.”
