Following a sold out book tour last year, The Coral have announced further 12 dates for March and April 2024. The tour sees an intimate evening of music and conversation with singer James Skelly and keyboardist Nick Power including a short acoustic performance of songs from the album.
The Coral’s signed book shares the story of their journey as childhood friends right through to the making of their remarkable debut album. The book, which is limited to 1,500 signed and numbered copies, is available here and sees their story told in their own words for the very first time. The stunningly boxed book features exclusive commentary from the band as well as previously-unseen photography as it reflects on one of the greatest records of the new Millennium. It will also be accompanied by an exclusive CD featuring a live recording of the band performing their debut album in full at Liverpool Invisible Wind Factory last year.

Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and a Brit Award the album is still sonically unique, wilfully leftfield and thrillingly eclectic. The Coral combined psychedelia with dub, disco groove with pop and ragtime with Egyptian reggae on a remarkable debut that has proved to be timeless. Twenty years on, that records sounds as fresh and remarkable as it did when it was released on 29th July 2002.
