Framing Hanley confirm return to UK

Framing Hanley, who just released second album The Sum Of Who We Are, have confirmed a UK tour that kicks off in October.

And frontman Kenneth Nixon has admitted their return is “long overdue” after their previous visit was cut short due to touring mates The Blackout experiencing heath issues.

Nixon says: “The reception for our band in the UK is second to none. Any time we leave there to go home we’re already talking about the next chance to go back.

Framing Hanley: “If it wasn’t for our fans we wouldn’t exist”

“We’ve been in the studio for two and a half years workin on The Sum Of Who We Are, and the reward is being able to play these songs live. If you come to any of our shows you can expect an energy in the room unlike any previous Framing Hanley shows. We’re ready – are you?”

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, May 14).

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
