Edwyn Collins Puts Together a Tour

Edwyn Collins Puts Together a Tour Considering he was facing some life-threatening ailments less than three years ago, Edwyn Collins has been making serious strides getting back on his musical feet.

Last fall the onetime Orange Juice frontman released his sixth solo offering, the superb Home Again, and this spring he's poised for a full-on return to the road.

This tour, as we can safely call it, follows a few scattered live engagements for Collins late last year. It begins April 20 in Birmingham, England, and wraps up just over a week later in London. All too soon, really, but any opportunity to witness this member of the Scottish indie pop royalty doing his thing is a welcome one indeed.

Many thanks to reader Jono Henderson for the tip!
