Baxter Dury has announced a new album.
'The Night Chancers' will arrive through Heavenly Recordings on March 20, with his biggest UK tour set to follow in April. He'll call in Leeds, Glasgow, Hebden Bridge, Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Brighton before heading to mainland Europe. Tickets go on sale at 10am on November 22.
Discussing the new record, Baxter said:
“Night Chancers is about being caught out in your attempt at being free, it’s about someone leaving a hotel room at three in the morning. You’re in a posh room with big Roman taps and all that, but after they go suddenly all you can hear is the taps dripping, and all you can see the debris of the night is around you. Then suddenly a massive party erupts, in the room next door. This happened to me and all I could hear was the night chancer, the hotel ravers.”
