The 'Line of Duty' star has plans to head into the studio to work on his music after being "approached" to add another string to his bow.

He said: "I'm hoping to do something in the recording studio some time this year and I've had a couple of approaches about doing things. I was in bands many years ago, singing backing vocals and all the rest of it. I just never get a chance to do any of that because I started acting and you focus on other things. But I've always kept it going and I've always done gigs with friends of mine in Ronnie Scott's over the years. It's kind of country jazz really. I like stuff that straddles the easy listening, country jazz sort of stuff."

And Adrian would love to tour his album too.

He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "It would be good to do a few gigs. I've done a few gigs before, I had a band some years ago and we used to do a lot of gigs around the place, which was good fun - we did a lot of gigs around Bundoran, all the guys, the members of the band were from that area. We used to do lots gigs in and around there and now and again we'd go up to Belfast and do a couple of gigs, so hopefully we can get that back together again, you know? But that tour will be on the back burner a bit until we get an album together. The idea would be to get an album together and then do the gigs off the back of that. I could be in the studio this year, if everything works out I could be."
