PICTISH TRAIL & ROZI PLAIN TOUR


As if that was not enough excitement for one day, we can also now announce details of a very special tour - taking place throughout September and October.

The Pictish Trail is heading out on the road - with his guitar and keyboard in tow - accompanied by fellow-Fencer Rozi Plain, in support of their respective new albums, Secret Soundz Vol. 1, and Inside Over Here.

The dates in September are going to be acoustic affairs, in very intimate venues - with lots of chat (but not from the audience, hopefully). And the October dates look set to be full-band shows in stadiums - with fireworks during the interval. Information on how to book tickets will be posted soon - until then check the gigs page for more info.
