LAID back, dreadlocked singer/songwriter Newton Faulkner is celebrating his sophomore album, Rebuilt by Humans, going top three by announcing a UK tour that includes the O2 Academy Bournemouth on March 11 next year.

The title of the album, his follow up to the million-selling Hand Built by Robots, refers to Newton’s recovery from a broken wrist which dislocated his entire right hand earlier this year in France.

He nearly lost the movement in the hand but after a series of painful procedures by French medics and a career-saving op in the UK, he was successfully, er, rebuilt by humans!

Tickets for the show go on sale from usual outlets on Friday, October 9.
