Graham Coxon new tour and single

Graham Coxon has announced details of two tours to coincide with the release of his new album.

Released in May, ‘Happiness In Magazines' will be preceded by a single, ‘Freakin' Out', on March 8.

Coxon said of the album: "I'm very pleased with it. It sounds like a lot of the music I've liked through my lifetime. I just thought of the album title last week; there was one daft working title called ‘No More Mr Lo Fi', but that was a giggle really."

Coxon plays a string of low-key UK dates in March, calling at:

Stoke Sugarmills (March 9)
Bristol Firkin (10)
Bedford Esquires (11)
York Fibbers (12)

This jaunt is then followed by a full-scale UK and Irish tour beginning in May, visiting:
