BARRY ADAMSON has announced details of Memento Mori (Anthology 1978-2018), a 40th anniversary release charting the artist's writing and recording career, along with two very special live shows in October at Manchester's RNCM Theatre and London's Union Chapel. Says Adamson, "I'm immensely looking forward to bringing my anthology, Memento Mori, to the stage - complete with strings and brass, flutes and whistles - along with my band, seething with excellence, chomping at the bit, to bring you the full on Barry Adamson experience.
