Martha Wainwright returns to the UK
sean by Sean Adams April 24th, 2006

Drowned in Sound Recordings' very own Martha Wainwright returns to the UK this May... tickets go on sale tomorrow!

With her self-titled debut in 2005 she walked out from her family's shadow and wowed crowds everywhere from Glastonbury to South by Southwest. This May, the youngest member of the Wainwright clan returns to the UK following three sold out tours, armed simply with her acoustic guitar and that voice.

Martha will road-test a few brand new songs from her second album (due in 2007) and may be joined by few rather special guests at her London shows.

She plays the following...

May
18 Brighton The Great Escape Festival (more info at escapegreat.com)
26 Warwick University
27 London Bloomsbury Theatre
28 London Bloomsbury Theatre
29 Bristol St Georges Hall
31 Salford Lowry Theatre

June
2 Brighton Gardner Arts Centre
3 Wychwood Festival
5 Newcastle Sage Gateshead
6 Leeds City Varieties

Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Some pre-sale tickets are available here: getlive.co.uk

Martha features as a guest on the new Snow Patrol album. Her critically-celebrated debut album is out now on Drowned in Sound Recordings'. Join the DiS label's mailing list here:
