The supreme Ash are soon to return to the forefront and will have us revisit the alphabet, only in a less didactic but more pleasure way, we hope.

As they promised last spring, instead of putting out an LP, the Irish trio will release 26 singles, every fortnight between this September and next year. This body of work, baptized 'the A-Z series' will see each of the 26 singles designated with one letter of the alphabet- no further rationale to be found.

The happy three will compliment this new marathonian venture with a 26-date UK tour this autumn, kicking off in Aldershot (Oct. 19th), via Bradford (Oct. 20th), Carlisle (Oct. 21st), Dundee, East Grange, Falkirk, Gloucester, Hastings, Ipswich, Jersey, Kingston, Loughborough all the way up to eXmouth, Yeovil and finally Zennor on 23rd November.

Tickets cost £16.50 for most shows, £15 for a few of the Scottish dates and £17.50 for London - on sale now. All prices + booking fee.
