UK Tour Set List

As you probably already know the upcoming UK shows will be in two completely different halves, Acoustic and Electric and as promised during the acoustic set there will be played some never before album tracks as well as a few new songs. So very exciting for the ardent Rubettes fan and also we imagine extremely interesting to the unfamiliar curious 70’s fan who will be surprised to discover a hidden side to the Rubettes when Alan discloses some but not all their secrets. The second half Electric set is as you might expect ‘Electric‘ with all the Rubettes UK hit’s being played and even then the surprises keep on coming.
