Tickets for the shows are available here.

The line-up looks to be classic babybird with Rob Gregory on drums, Luke scott on guitar and Danny Lowe on bass. Judging from the massive layers of piano, brass and guitar flowing throughout on the new album, additional personal might be in demand soon, and Stephen has already mentioned that he’s on the lookout for a piano player for the one-off launch show in London in november.

Stephen will probably be open to requests on his twitter, and recently he mentioned that he hopes to do interpretations of obscurer songs on the tour.

I have currently no confirmed knowledge of gigs outside the UK.
