A LOCAL band have announced their first 2023 UK tour.

The K's, a band from Earlestown, announced to their followers on social media that their first UK tour of the year will take place in March. 

Band members were "absolutely buzzing" to share the news and have already received a flood of responses from fans who are delighted about the tour. 

The K’s, who were nominated for the Imperial Quarter-sponsored Arts Award in the Pride of St Helens Awards 2022 in November, had a difficult period during last year as they said goodbye to a fellow member, described as their "best friend and brother", as Jordan Holden, drummer of the band, made the decision to take time out of the band.
