Justin Hayward has announced that he will be touring in his home country in September, with a run of UK dates under the banner The Voice of the Moody Blues.

“I’m so very pleased to be back on the road in the UK this September, with a set full of old songs and new, as well as the stories around them,” says the revered vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. “With me will be the amazing, award-winning guitarist Mike Dawes along with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Julie Ragins – a renowned recording artist in her own right – and Karmen Gould, the finest young flute player of her generation. We can’t wait to bring our show home.” Tickets for the UK tour are available for pre-sale from tomorrow (24) via Hayward’s website.
