Newton Faulkner: 'Hands Built By Robots' Tour

A tour marking the twentieth anniversary of Newton Faulkner's debut album, Hand Built By Robots, at Manchester Academy 2. The shows return to the songs that launched the act's career.

Newton Faulkner's first album, Hand Built By Robots, came out in 2007 and reached No.1 in the UK charts, remaining at the top for several weeks and spending more than ten months in the Top 40. It earned double platinum certification in Britain and is among the country's best-selling digital albums. This tour revisits the record twenty years on, placing its songs at the centre of the night.

Fan favourites from the album include 'Dream Catch Me', 'Teardrop', 'Gone In The Morning'and 'If I Need Something'. The record introduced many listeners to Newton's guitar playing and songwriting, and this tour is built around those original tracks rather than a general selection from later releases.

Manchester Academy 2 is a Manchester venue on Oxford Road, part of Manchester Union, and it mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The evening will suit those who know the album and want to hear its songs performed live.
