This tour and new album collection of 50 songs is Tony’s musical autobiography, one that shows he truly is a consummate singer and able to reinterpret a song, not merely cover it.

The album features classic covers, including Jimmy Webb’s Didn’t We, George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord, Dobie Gray’s Drift Away and Bacharach & David’s A House Is Not A Home, as well as new songs recorded in Memphis such as the single Early Morning Memphis.

Not only will Tony and his band be treating audiences to his classic hits Amarillo, Las Vegas and I Did What I Did For Maria but he will also be joined by special guests Ranagri to perform songs from his recent hit album The Great Irish Songbook which sees him celebrate his Irish roots.

He said: “This is the first time I have taken two separate bands on the road.
