Former Lead singer of The Seahorses,Chris Helme, announces UK tour

Chris Helme – who first rose to prominence as the front man of John Squire’s post-Stone Roses  band ‘The Seahorses’ – released his new solo album, The Rookery, on August 27 to excellent  reviews in the likes of Q, Mojo, Uncut and Classic Rock Magazine.
