Fresh from releasing his mammoth seventeen track album last month, Roots Manuva has announced a UK tour for 2012. It may not be quite the size of his last offering but it will nevertheless see Rodney Smith take in eight cities across the UK, starting at Glasgow’s Arches on the 26th, finishing at The Roundhouse in London on the 4th February.

Smith‘s eight studio album,‘4everevolution’ was widely regarded as a great record by the UK press, indeed the album was given a staggering 8/10 by Clash while further reviews were similarly positive across the board. This tour will see him take the tracks and give them a live presence of their own.
