Shed Seven Reform For UK Tour

Fresh in the wake of The Verve reforming, nineties purveyors of middling indie Shed Seven have reformed for a tour.

The band, who enjoyed fifteen consecutive top 40 hits, have reformed for some winter dates – four years after their split.

Guitarist Paul Banks will be playing with the band for the first time since 1999, along with other band members Rick Witter, Joe Johnson, Alan Leach and Tom Gladwin.

Singer Rick Witter said: “We have almost constantly been asked by the loyal shed heads to reform for a few gigs since the split, but we felt we needed a well earned break.

“However, after four  years we feel that going out for a two week tour, playing all the hits without any outside pressure will be a great way to end 2007, plus having Paul back in the line up for the first time in eight years will make it extra special. See you down the front.”
