Paul Draper – former frontman of Mansun, one of the ’90s most forward-thinking and iconic rock’n’roll bands – has announced details of his first solo live shows.

Paul will tour the UK in September with a full live band that includes regular studio collaborator Catherine AD (the Anchoress).

Paul Draper will play live at:

• Thu 14th – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
• Fri 15th – Manchester, Gorilla
• Sat 16th – Glasgow, King Tuts
• Thu 21st – London, Scala
• Fri 22nd – Bristol, Thekla

Paul Draper released his first solo recordings in 2016. Released on Kscope, EP ONE and EP TWO collected together Paul’s first new songs since the release of Mansun’s posthumous compilation Kleptomania (2004) and represented a thrilling and immediate return to form. Both EPs debuted at No 1 in the UK vinyl charts.

Paul’s debut solo album is due for release later this year.
