McEvoy to deliver on UK tour

With her latest single chalking up the radio plays, the singer has announced details of her upcoming UK tour

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 08 Mar 2011

As her latest single ‘Deliver Me’ chalks up the radio plays (and stokes a little controversy too), Eleanor McEvoy has announced details of her UK tour, as part of The Dave Rotheray Life of Birds tour in March.

Rotheray is the former Beautiful South man with whom McEvoy has appeared on stage and collaborated on songwriting duties in the past. This time she’ll be playing her own full set, including ‘Deliver Me’ which takes a non-too subtle swipe at the Catholic Church and is one of the stand-out tracks on her recent album I’d Rather Go Blonde.

Saturday 19: The Stables Stockwell Lanes, Milton Keynes
Sunday 20: The Musician Pub Clyde Street, Leicester
Monday 21: The Junction Clifton Way, Cambridge
Tuesday 22: Troubadour 263-7 Old Brompton Road, London
Wednesday 23: The Met Market Street, Bury
Thursday 24: The Boardwalk Matilda Street, Sheffield

WHATEVER YOU think about the subject matter of Eleanor McEvoy's breakthrough song, 'A Woman's Heart', melodically it is a pure delight. Listening to her debut album one also hears undeniable evidence of a classically trained, and gifted, composer at work.
