FOLLOWING the release of the highly anticipated album 'Torn Apart', featuring special guest Steve Hackett (Genesis), Franck Carducci returns to the UK next week with "Tearing the Tour Apart" in order to promote this new opus.

This includes a date at The Talking Heads in Southampton on Thursday ( December 8).

With his band, he puts on a trip through time and eras. Listeners are invited to “dive down into it, let yourself go, you're off for a journey in an enchanting and eerie musical universe. A place where dreams are kings and emotions are queens!”

Franck’s band will be joined once again by Ghost Community who will be bringing the whole of their new album, “Cycle of Life” (produced & mixed by Bruce Soord – Pineapple Thief, Katatonia & Opeth), to the stage. “This album is a 60 minute journey full of melody, rock and emotion. Ghost Community will have you rocking in the aisles. Passengers get on board, welcome to the Cycle of Life…….”

Mary Renaud, from Franck’s band, will open the shows with an acoustic set of songs from across her catalogue.
