The inimitable Ed Harcourt releases his new single 'Hey Little Bruiser' March 25th.
A soaring, piano-led ode to his son (Franklyn), 'Hey Little Bruiser' features guest violin from Ed's wife Gita Harcourt and delivers standout line "you got the good bits from your mother and the bad parts from me," in typically self-deprecating fashion.
It's a highlight of the sublime new LP 'Back Into The Woods', which was recorded in just six hours at the iconic Abbey Road studios and is set for release on February 25th 2013.
With Catherine A.D as special guest support, this spring Ed will bring the album to life on a 12-date tour of England's finest churches and concert halls, starting out The Great Escape Festival in Brighton and finishing up at Norwich Arts Centre June 11th.
