Ian Skelly, The Sundowners (2), The Circle

British singer / songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Ian Skelly, who released his debut album, 'Cut From A Star' through Watertown Records in December, has announced a short U.K. tour – with full backing band - for February.

'Cut From A Star' is Skelly's first solo long player having previously drummed for The Coral for over a decade. The self-produced 11-track album was recorded over the last couple of years at The Coral's rehearsal space, The Coral Caves, on the Wirral using a vintage Tascam tape cassette machine. Skelly is joined on the record by Paul Duffy and Nick Power on bass and keyboards respectively. Additional musicians include The Coral's James Skelly, Miles Kane and Wirral newcomers The Sundowners on backing vocals.

Support for all shows is provided by The Sundowners, who are set to release their debut single, Hummingbird, in March.
