Shed Seven have announced that they are to reform for a one-off
Greatest Hits tour this winter.
The Brit Pop pioneers, who enjoyed a run of fifteen consecutive Top 40
hits including the classics Going For Gold, Chasing Rainbows and
Getting Better, will take to the stage this November / December four
years after their original split.
The line-up will include guitarist Paul Banks - the first time hes
appeared onstage with the Sheds since 1999. The five piece band will
be completed by the other original members Joe Johnson, Alan Leach,
Tom Gladwin, and of course Rick Witter.
Rick Witter " We have almost constantly been asked by the loyal
shed heads to reform for a few gigs since the split, but we felt we
needed a well earned break. However, after 4 years we feel that going
out for a 2 week tour, playing all the hits without any outside
pressure will be a great way to end 2007. plus having Paul back in the
line up for the first time in 8 years will make it extra special. see
