GLEN HANSARD announces solo acoustic UK tour dates for April 2024


Glen Hansard has announced a solo acoustic UK tour for April 2024 set to include two shows at Union Chapel in London. Tickets are on sale from 10am on Friday December 8th 2023.

Hansard recently released his new album, a collection of songs about life getting closer to completion than commencement, aptly titled All That Was East Is West Of Me Now. A record that is noisy and meditative as well as sprawling and hypnotic, it is Hansard’s most rollicking record since Burn the Maps-era The Frames, and won four-star reviews from Mojo and Record Collector.

Robin Trower will return to UK stages in May 2024 for a select run of shows taking in London, Gateshead and Holmfirth. It’s been six years since Robin Trower last played in the UK, but the iconic guitarist has certainly been keeping busy. Recent album releases include the United State Of Mind project with Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown and three albums in four years on the Provogue label, including his most recent ‘Joyful Sky’ with vocalist Sari Schorr. It’s hard to believe that Robin Trower first came to prominence with Procol Harum in 1967 and was selling out stadiums in the USA with his solo band in the 1970s.
