Late spring will see Christine Tobin embark on a fourteen date UK tour to coincide with her new album. The seventh release from this great Irish singer promises to be her best yet - ‘Secret Life of a Girl’ sees Tobin weave tales of childhood innocence into those of multicultural London, refracted through a fascinating prism of characters. Her part fantasy, part biographical album tells of journeys from tough urban landscapes to seaside retreats, of tree houses, pebbly beaches and noble steeds.

There are inimitable Tobin originals, as well as imaginative covers of Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright.

The band includes Phil Robson (guitar), Liam Noble (piano), Kate Shortt (Cello), Dave Whitford (bass), Thebe Lipere (percussion), Simon Lea (drums)
