Following the success of his first UK shows in 30 years, in 2012, Michael Nesmith, the woollen hat wearing Monkee, producer, multi-instrumentalist and country rock pioneer will be returning to the UK this year, on a 7-date tour.

This tour will see him play Hove Centre, Brighton (20th Sept), O2 Shepherds Bush Empire (21st Sept), Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre, Newcastle (23rd Sept), The Queens Hall, Edinburgh (24th Sept), City Varieties, Leeds (25th Sept), The Forum, Bath (27th Sept) and Town Hall, Birmingham (28th Sept).

Nesmith will be joined by a full band and will perform songs spanning his entire career, from his Folk music beginnings through to the present day. These dates are a rare opportunity to see a true musical legend, in intimate surroundings, and tickets are sure to sell out fast.
