Johnny Marr playing South Facing Festival 2023 (Adam Hampton-Matthews for Live4ever)
Johnny Marr is to be supported by Gaz Coombes.
Johnny Marr will take his upcoming solo collection Spirit Power out on a tour of the UK next year – full details below.
There’s been some degree of reflection recently; his book Marr’s Guitars coinciding with the compilation which is due for release on November 3rd, one also containing the brand new songs Somewhere and The Answer, the former written whilst on tour last year with The Killers and Blondie.
“I’ve played a lot of arenas over the years, and in terms of songwriting there’s nowhere to hide,” he said.
For a song to work, it has to be a banger. I know it’s almost uncool to think in those terms, but I grew up in a house where my parents listened to Motown, where you couldn’t get a song released if it wasn’t full of hooks.
