Newton Faulkner: 'Hands Built By Robots' Tour

Newton Faulkner marks twenty years since the release of the debut album Hand Built By Robots with a tour built around its songs. The concerts take place at Union Chapel, a London chapel that also hosts live music.

This tour marks two decades since Newton Faulkner released Hand Built By Robots, the debut album that introduced the artist's guitar style and songwriting to a wide audience. Issued in 2007, the record reached number one in the UK charts, held the top spot for several weeks and spent more than ten months in the Top 40. It has been certified double platinum, with over one million copies sold in the UK alone, and it ranks among the country's twenty biggest-selling digital albums of all time.

The concerts celebrate the songs from that record, including 'Dream Catch Me', 'Teardrop', 'Gone in the Morning'and 'If I Need Something'. The show returns the album to the stage in full anniversary form, so it is a natural fit for listeners who followed the record when it first appeared and for those who want to hear its tracks performed live.

Union Chapel is a chapel on Compton Terrace in London that also operates as a concert venue, mainly presenting pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits anyone interested in the songwriting and guitar playing that shaped this album.
