NORTHERN Irish classic blues guitarist Gary Moore has just announced a UK tour - with a stop on the south coast.
Tickets to see the music legend go on sale today at 9am.
Moore is acknowledged as one of the finest musicians the British Isles has ever produced.
In a career that dates back to the 1960s, Gary has graced the line-ups of several notable rock bands, Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and Skid Row to name but three.
Following on from his 2006 tour with the legendary BB King, master of the blues Moore is back for his first solo tour in four years.
You can see him live at Portsmouth Guildhall on June 5.
Gary's latest album Old New Ballads Blues features five new original songs, including the up tempo Ain't Nobody, the poignant ballad Gonna Rain Today, the country influenced No Reason to Cry and the driving instrumental Cut it Out.
Also included are re-recorded versions of the classic Midnight Blues, which originally appeared on Gary's multi million selling, 1990 album Still Got The Blues, Otis Rush's All Your Love, which was the song which turned Gary onto the blues, when he first heard it on the Bluesbreakers Beano album, in 1966 and blistering covers of Willie Dixon's You Know my Love and Elmore James's Done Somebody Wrong.
