Wet Wet Wet to go back on the road
Scottish pop favourites Wet Wet Wet have announced details of a nationwide arena tour to mark 20 years since their first hit single.
The Scottish stars, who had a string of chart smashes in the 80s and 90s, will play a series of dates in December to accompany a new album.
Wet Wet Wet formed in Clydebank in the 1980s and first hit top spot with Wishing I Was Lucky in 1987.
They went on to score further success with tracks such as Sweet Little Mystery and the 15-week chart topper Love Is All Around, from the hit film Four Weddings And A Funeral.
In 1999 they split following revelations of singer Marti Pellow’s heroin addiction and did not speak for five years until they were reunited at his mother’s funeral.
The band – Pellow, Graeme Clark, Tommy Cunningham and Neil Mitchell – went on to perform reunion shows in 2004 and recently played a New Year gig in Aberdeen.
Pellow is also just fresh from winning the BBC’s duet singing showdown Just The Two Of Us with ex-EastEnder Hannah Waterman.
The band will play in Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Belfast, Glasgow Aberdeen, Newcastle, Cardiff and London starting on December 4.
Take That recently showed the appetite for nineties chart toppers when they reformed to sell out gigs and release new hit records.
