Announcing the tour and album on Zoe Ball’s Radio Two Breakfast Show this morning (September 22), Gary said: “New music is exciting, we’ve been together for 33 years so it’s like ‘what’s next and how do we sound in 2023?’ It feels like things are going upwards and there’s a lot of light in this music.”
