Daniel Merriweather to embark on first nationwide headline UK tour

Daniel Merriweather's critically acclaimed and highly anticipated album 'Love & War' debuted at No. 2 in the Official UK album chart and has now shipped in excess of 180,000 copies, certifying it gold.

Meanwhile, 'Red', the anthemic follow-up single to the airplay smash 'Change', was a top 3 airplay hit, entered the chart at No. 5 where it stayed for over four weeks and has now sold over 200,000 copies. Daniel's forthcoming single 'Impossible', (the third cut to be taken from 'Love and War' due for release on August 16th) is already Radio 2's 'Record of the Week'.

Now, following a recent sold-out gig at the Bloomsbury Ballroom on June 3rd 2009, Daniel Merriweather is set to embark on his first nationwide headline UK tour.
