And to coincide with the tour both Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds will be releasing new solo albums. Edmunds' is Requested When Needed, which includes a version of Cliff Richard's "Dynamite," and is available on June 8.

The tour begins at Birmingham Odeon on June 8, followed by: Essex University June 9, Guildford Civic Hall 10, Hastings Pier Pavilion 11, Cambridge Emmanuel College 12, Manchester Free Trade Hall 13, Leeds University 15, Oxford Polytechnic 16, Poole Arts Centre 17, Portsmouth Guildhall 18, Swansea Top Rank 19, Hemel Hempstead Pavilion 21, Egham Royal Holloway College 22, Malvern Winter Gardens 23, Bristol Locarno 24, London Hammersmith Palais 26, Sheffield Top Rank 27, Newcastle City Hall 28, Edinburgh Odeon 29.
