Penned as the 'British Jack Johnson' and complete with a laid-back enough vibe to earn him said title, singer/songwriter/guitarist Newton Faulkner will return later this year for a string of UK and Irish dates.

Newton, who has recently headlined a night at the iTunes festival, is set to play some UK events including Latitude and Grassroots this summer before taking to the stage this coming October.

His 14-show UK and Ireland tour will see him play venues in Dublin, Belfast, Warwick, Truro, Cambridge, Liverpool, Portsmouth. York, Ipswich, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Swansea and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Newton last toured in January of this year.

Fans can expect to hear classics such as 'Dream Catch Me' as well as some new material considering the tour will follow the release of his eagerly-anticipated second album 'Hand Built By Robots' on September 21st.

Tickets costing between £16-20 are available for all but the Dublin and Belfast date- which will be available on Friday 17th July at 9AM.
