Ian Skelly (the Coral) @ The Ruby Lounge February 8, 2013

British singer / songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Ian Skelly, who released his debut album, Cut From A Star through Watertown Records in December, has announced a short U.K. tour – with full backing band - for February

Cut From A Star is Skelly’s first solo long player having previously drummed for The Coral for over a decade.

The self-produced 11-track album was recorded over the last couple of years at The Coral’s rehearsal space, The Coral Caves, on the Wirral using a vintage Tascam tape cassette machine.

Skelly is joined on the record by Paul Duffy and Nick Power on bass and keyboards respectively. Additional musicians include The Coral’s James Skelly, Miles Kane and Wirral newcomers The Sundowners on backing vocals.

"These tunes have a wistful, fantastical power." 4/5 The Guardian

"Songs bedded in psychedelia awash with West Coast like vocal-harmonies." 4/5 Mojo

Support for all shows is provided by fellow Wirral band The Sundowners, who are set to release their debut single, Hummingbird, in March.
