Robert Plant's Saving Grace with Suzi Dian have announced a Winter UK tour. The run of ten Ding Dong Merrily dates, which follow the band's previously announced US schedule, kicks off at Portsmouth Guildhall on December 8, and wraps up at the Barbican in York, two days before Christmas. Full dates below.

Support on the tour will come from West Country alternative indie folk duo Burr Island, who've previously supported the likes of Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller.

Tickets for the UK shows go on sale next Thursday, September 18, at 10am. Joining Plant and singer Suzi Dian on the road will be drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, cellist Barney Morse-Brown and banjo and string player Matt Worley.

Saving Grace's self-titled debut album will arrive on September 26 via Nonesuch Records, and includes covers of songs by Memphis Minnie, Moby Grape's Bob Mosley, Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Mimi Parker. It's a collection of songs former Led Zeppelin frontman Plant calls "a song book of the lost and found."
