The Proclaimers
Strikingly individual, twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid have over the years enjoyed huge success across the globe as the emotional honesty, political fire, wit and sing-along raucousness of their songs and their extensive touring has enlightened and entertained fans new and old.
As The Proclaimers they have carved out a niche for themselves in the netherworld where pop, folk, new wave and punk collide. In the process they have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
After a rapid writing period in the second half of 2008, Craig and Charlie Reid headed back to the legendary Rockfield Studios in February with producer Steve Evans (Robert Plant, Siouxsie) to record a new album ‘Notes & Rhymes’ (W14/Universal) for release on 15th June. This is the follow-up to the very successful ‘Life With You’ in 2007.
The first single to be take from the new release is ‘Love Can Move Mountains’ set for release 8th June
On the live circuit, Craig and Charlie have also been keeping busy, making their debut at SXSW in Austin, Texas where they performed a series of seven acoustic showcases, including a one-off Scottish extravaganza, sharing a bill with Glasvegas and Primal Scream.
The Proclaimers are delighted to announce a 24-date October/November UK tour. Special Guests to be confirmed.
