JONNY New single ‘You Was Me’ released 9th May
aaamusic | On 21, Mar 2011
Acclaimed duo Jonny, aka Euros Childs and Norman Blake, are set to release You Was Me on 9th May, the second single from their self-titled debut album (Alsatian Records / Turnstile). You Was Me is a three-minute slice of perfect laid back acoustic pop drenched with the duo’s famed lush harmonies – the perfect soundtrack to the onset of summer.
Jonny undertook their first proper tour of the UK in February. The shows are a real treat, with Childs and Blake bringing to life their co-written songs in a live setting with genuine charm and an infectious feeling of bonhomie. Following a tour of Japan in May, they will hit the road again in the UK, first with an appearance at Glastonbury Festival followed by four headline shows with Laura J Martin in support.
Jonny live dates:
24-26/06 Glastonbury Festival, Somerset
28/06 Cardiff, The Globe
29/06 London, Borderline
30/06 York, Fibbers (rescheduled/upgraded show. Tickets remain valid or refund available at point of purchase)
01/07 Glasgow, King Tut’s
