JUSTIN Hayward, of The Moody Blues, will play York Barbican on July 9 next summer on his eight-date solo tour.
The 68-year-old singer, guitarist and songwriter from Swindon will focus on songs from his 2013 album, Spirits Of The Western Sky, alongside classic and rarely heard Moody Blues songs and his worldwide hit Forever Autumn.
“This tour is a joy for me" said Hayward. "I'm able to present these songs as they were written, on the guitars that I played on the original sessions, and it gives me a chance to share all the stories behind the songs. Brilliant young English guitar player Mike Dawes joins me on stage and brings an extra magic to the music. You'll see! I can't wait.”
Tickets for his only Yorkshire show go on sale tomorrow on 0844 854 2757 or at yorkbarbican.co.uk. Hayward's solo tour will be preceded by June dates with The Moody Blues on the Timeless Flight tour, including a Yorkshire show at Sheffield City Hall on June 18.
