The Anfield Wrap

Huge week for The Rider. Ian Skelly from The Coral on the phone talking about their upcoming tour and forthcoming exhibition at Redhouse Originals gallery in Harrogate. It is a show detailing the work on their most recent album Distance Inbetween, showing the work Ian did on the design and the process behind the album. He also talks about that album and how it has been received, along with the whole span of the band and the excitement around the tour with its wide array of supporting artists. More? Of course there is more. The Rider is delighted as a collective to see Adam Melia back from his North American journey. He lets us know what he has been up to.
