Tune Up - Music Touring Across Scotland

Tours: Edwyn Collins with 1990s

Wed 14th Oct 2009 - Fri 11th Dec 2009

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Edwyn Collins with 1990s show at the ABC on Sunday has been rescheduled. The new date is 11th December and all original tickets are still valid.

In 2005 Collins was due to take to the road with Tune Up when he had two life-threatening strokes. After an incredible recovery, during which he heroically battled the physical after-effects hindering his movement and speech he returned to the studio and finished the album he was working on, 'Home Again'. Within two years, he took to the stage again, having
painstakingly relearned the lyrics to his songs. And in the last year alone, he has recorded six new songs due out in 2010, alongside winning the prestigious Ivor Novello Inspiration award.

We are thrilled to welcome him back to his long post-poned Tune Up tour. Collins will tour alongside Glasgow party stalwarts 1990's, who have recorded both their albums with producer Bernard Butler in Collins' studio. Despite both sets of musicians long-standing mutual appreciation of each other this is the first time they have played together.

Travelling to some far flung and beautiful reaches of the country, such as Orkney and Thurso, this tour will also call in at Helmsdale; a homecoming of sorts for Collins, who spent many weeks in this magical place during his recovery.

The Low Miffs, featuring Malcolm Ross, formerly of Josef K, Aztec Camera and Orange Juice, will also appear in Glasgow.
