Speaking of the Owl John concept, Hutchison says: “It's been about ten years since I had the notion to add the word 'Owl' as a middle name. Scott Owl John Hutchison. I thought it had a really splendid flow to it. I suppose I enjoy owls as much as most people, admiring their weird neck thing and having read 'Plop' countless times as a wee one."
Tickets for the shows will go on sale on Wednesday 11 June at 9am. For more information visit Gigwise Tickets.
