A SUPERFAN flew half way around the world to see a gig by Barnsley musician Lauren Tate.

Miguel Madariaga travelled almost 6,000 miles to watch Lauren, 18, play at Verve Bar Leeds.

The 30-year-old mega fan made the mammoth trip from Mexico City after vowing to see Lauren perform one day.

Miguel, an artist who exhibits in the Castillo gallery in Mexico, has followed Lauren online for the last couple of years since discovering her covers on YouTube.
