Chris Helme who first rose to prominence as the front man of John Squire’s post-Stone Roses band ‘The Seahorses’ – released his new solo album, The Rookery, on August 27 to excellent reviews in the likes of Q, Mojo, Uncut and Classic Rock Magazine. He is now pleased to announce an Autumn / Winter UK tour.
Helme is still rightfully remembered for the anthemic Britpop classics Love Is The Law and Blinded By The Sun; and with The Rookery, he now has a critically-acclaimed solo album under his belt too.
