Gaz Coombes has just announced two of his biggest solo shows to-date sparked by the quite brilliant 2015 album ‘Matador‘.
Added to the touring calendar, which is detailed below, are dates at the Manchester Academy 2 on October 8th and The Forum in London a day later. A ticket presale starts next Wednesday (April 22nd) at 9am, followed by a general sale on April 24th.
“The album is a daring departure from his solo debut and takes some risks which largely pay off,” our review reads. “Guitars are not as prominent for a start. What does remain though is the consistency in Gaz’s voice, which as usual is faultless.”
“It’s a less commercial sounding album than ‘…Bombs’ and not as immediate, which is by no means a criticism, but those craving a sugar coated album of catchy hits may be left feeling crestfallen.”
