THE Quireboys will be blasting through their A Bit Of What You Fancy album when they hit Sussex in January.

The band will embark on a UK tour from December 2020 to February 2021 following the release of the re-recorded version to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

The Quireboys are currently re-recording their debut album, which reached number two in the UK charts.

When released on Friday July 1, the album will be available on vinyl and CD both on limited edition runs. The CD will include bonus live tracks.

The hard rock band formed in 1984 in London, with strong ties to Newcastle.

Quireboys frontman Spike said: “A Bit Of What You Fancy is where it all began for The Quireboys. It was an incredible album that launched our career.

“However, the way we sound and play now doesn’t do it justice. Henceforth, it has been a pleasure updating it to our modern-day gypsy rock and roll sound.

“I’m sure everyone will enjoy this new version in all its glory, marking its 30th anniversary.”

Australian band Massive, who are no strangers to the UK music scene, are returning as tour support for the Quireboys.

The band are on the road promoting their third studio album Rebuild Destroy out now through Off Yer Rocka Recordings.

The English rockers are playing the Concorde 2, Brighton, on Thursday January 28, 2021. Tickets from www.thegigcartel.com.
