Graham to tour with Under One Sky

Graham Coxon will soon embark on a full-length UK tour with John McCusker's folk collective Under One Sky. The dates are as follows:

Nov 25 - Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow
Nov 27 - Music Hall, Aberdeen
Nov 28 - Perth Concert Hall, Perth
Nov 29 - Ironworks, Inverness
Dec 1 - Pocklington Arts Centre, Pocklington
Dec 2 - The Lowry, Manchester
Dec 4 - The Sage Gateshead, Gateshead
Dec 5 - Alnwick Playhouse, Alnwick
Dec 6 - Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Dec 7 - Albert Hall Conference Centre, Nottingham
Dec 8 - Queen's Hall, Edinburgh

A similar to Damon Albarn's Africa Express, the tour will feature a dozen acclaimed folk musicians including Julie Fowlis, John Tams and Roddy Woomble. A studio album by Under One Sky will be exclusively available at the concerts. The official release will follow on 2nd February through Navigator Records.

In related news, Graham's already finished seventh studio album is apparently not going to be released in a while, since EMI has dropped him from their roster. With his old record label Transcopic defunct, this simply means a new deal must be signed before the release.
