Other than the release of McPherson’s Lament as a digital single to mark Burns’ Day earlier in the year, this is Arcari’s first release in three years – and pre-empts a full-length album Givers & Takers which is scheduled for an Autumn release.

Dave said: “I’ve been working on a whole bunch of new songs for a while but despite plans to record and release them long before now, things have been so busy on the road there just hasn’t been time – not that I can complain about that!”

Right after the England dates, he heads to Estonia for a short tour including Parnu Blues Festival before another run of UK shows in September and a US tour (October/November) to be announced soon.
