Multi-platinum British singer-songwriter David Gray is hitting the road in 2020 to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of White Ladder, his fourth studio album which sold seven million copies. Not only did it propel him into the mainstream, but it remains in the top 30 best-selling British albums of all time and the best-selling album ever in Ireland.
Written and recorded on minimal budget in the bedroom of a tiny terraced house in Stoke Newington, Gray experimented with drum machines and electronic elements, aided by drummer Craig McClune and engineer Iestyn Polson. Self-released, White Ladder took a while before crawling into the British charts, and then slowly worked its way up to No.1.
It has spawned the classic hit singles Babylon, Please Forgive Me and Sail Away.
During the White Ladder: The 20th Anniversary Tour, Gray will perform with all the original band members and equipment to recreate the record in its entirety, plus play a set of the greatest hits.
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak and the government measure implemented to limit its spread, the David Gray September 2021 shows have been postponed. The rearranged dates will instead take place in May 2022. Customers are advised to keep hold of their tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
