A long term collaborator with Glenn Hughes, guitarist Joakim 'JJ' Marsh is returning to the UK in September for a solo tour.
Eight dates dates have already been announced in London, Stoke, Birmingham, Blackpool, Chester, Bradford, Glasgow and Ipswich.

This is Marsh's first major solo tour since reforming 80s Spellbound and he is looking forward to re-establishing friendships he made during the Hughes years.
"The UK is vitally important to me and I can't wait to meet all my friends over there again. Those years helped me to establish a fanbase for my work in the UK and the response to the shows has been extremely welcoming on social media and associated websites including Glenn's. Rock and roll on September and we send our best wishes to Glenn for a speedy recovery."
