Legendary British pop duo Go West will embark on a rare 11-date UK tour in April 2010. Seriously. We are not kidding about that "legendary" part - time to break out the parachute pants, kids! This is more important than, like, the Pavement reunion.

The duo, of course, is Peter Cox (vocals) and Richard Drummie (guitar), and they are best known for their smash hit singles "We Close Our Eyes" and "Call Me", the UK tour will kick off on Thursday April 8th at the Cheltenham Town Hall. 

Described as "The 25th Anniversary Concert", Go West's tour will see the band perform songs drawn from across their career, including yet more Top Ten singles such as "The King Of Wishful Thinking", "True Colours", "I Wanna Hear It From You" and "The King Is Dead."

April 2010 tour dates include Cheltenam (Apr 8), Lowestoft (Apr 9), Birmingham (Apr 10), Gateshead (Apr 11), Basildon (Apr 15), Chatham (Apr 16), Peterborough (Apr 17), Barrow (Apr 18), Rhyl (Apr 21), London (Apr 23), Milton Keynes (Apr 25 / 26).

To coincide with Go West's nationwide UK tour, the band will release a re-recorded version of their 1985 hit ‘Call Me' coupled with brand new song ‘Skin Deep'. The single will be available as a CD and digital download.
