Idlewild guitarist / songwriter Rod Jones has been forced to postpone a bunch of dates he was due to play with his new project, The Birthday Suit.
The cancellations are due to a recurring shoulder injury. A statement made by Jones reads: ‘It’s with a heavy heart and sincere disappointment that we are forced to postpone the first leg of The Birthday Suit’s debut tour. A recurring shoulder injury has rendered me unable to play for up to 4 weeks. Dundee, Stirling and Glenrothes will go ahead in late Nov/Dec and we will be rescheduling all other dates for a February tour due to venue availability. We are all very thankful for your support and patience.’
