Shed Seven Return With Comeback Tour

added 09 July 2007 at 15.13

Balls to Live Earth, knackers to T In The Park and arsebiscuits to Foo Fighters, this is where the real new story of the day is. Shed Seven have announced that they are to reform for a one-off Greatest Hits tour this winter.

Dry those tears and dust of that limited edition  ‘Going For Gold’ on ten inch yellow vinyl, Shed Seven have put aside their artistic differences and will be playing 14 dates around the UK this winter.

And yes, you'll be pleased to know that it’s the ‘classic’ line up, which will include guitarist Paul Banks - the first time he’s appeared onstage with the Sheds since 1999. as well as the other original members Joe Johnson, Alan Leach, Tom Gladwin and course Rick Witter.

We’ve been asked to add that “these plans do not affect the individual members’ projects which will continue as before”. Thank heavens.

Speaking about the tour Witter said, “We have almost constantly been asked by the loyal shed heads to reform for a few gigs since the split, but we felt we needed a well earned break.

“However, after four years we feel that going out for a two week tour, playing all the hits without any outside pressure will be a great way to end 2007, plus having Paul back in the line up for the first time in eight years will make it extra special. See you down the front.”

Tickets will be going on sale Monday July 9 at 9am and will be available from the Xfm Xchange on 0871 222 1049 or from the Xfm Online Ticket Shop by clicking here.
