Former Enemy frontman Tom Clarke will head out on the road with acoustic guitar in hand to mark ten years of his ex-band’s debut album We’ll Live and Die In These Towns.
The 2007 album propelled The Enemy to top of the UK charts, and its success will be celebrated by Clarke a decade on through a solo acoustic tour in June and July. “When ‘We’ll Live & Die In These Towns’ was first released in June 2007, I couldn’t have imagined the love that people would have for it,” he said.
“Over the years it’s been obvious that for many it’s the defining Enemy album. It would be wrong then to let its tenth anniversary pass without so much as a nod to its importance.”
“That’s why I’m inviting fans to some very intimate shows to celebrate the songs from the debut, stripped back to their bare essentials and played acoustically.”
