The Answer and The Union, two of Britain's most promising classic rock bands, have joined forces for a tour which calls in at Wolverhampton's Wulfrun Hall in March.

The Answer and The Union will play The Wulfrun on Saturday 10th March, 2012. Tickets priced £15 will be available from 10am on Friday 25th November at Midland Box Office on 0870 320 7000 or at www.wolvescivic.co.uk

Founded in Northern Ireland in 2000, The Answer have spent the last decade proving their rock 'n' roll credentials and making the kind of life-affirming, eardrum-threatening music that separates the truly great from the merely adequate.

It was that promise which saw them earn a two-year stint as chief support to AC/DC, which took them around the world and into some of the biggest venues on the planet.

Guitarist Paul Mahon says: "After all that time on the road, our song writing's so much tighter, all the fat has been stripped away and we're much more direct. Songs that we had in that vein seemed to go down with their audiences, and we took all of that on board."

The band has recently completed work on their third album, Revival, which was recorded with producer Chris 'Frenchie' Smith in both El Paso and Austin, Texas.

Singer Cormac Neeson says: "It's our best album to date and we think it might turn a few heads. It was a lot of fun recording it. The studio in El Paso was on a ranch in the middle of a pecan orchard on 3,000 acres of land and right near the border of Mexico. It was a great place for creating music, and it had that whole Wild West vibe which rock bands can definitely tune into and feed off."

The Union is the band formed by Luke Morley, formerly the guitarist for legendary UK rock band Thunder, and ex-Winterville vocalist and guitarist Peter Shoulder. They will be touring to promote their new ablum Siren's Song, the follow-up to 2010's self-titled debut release.

Luke Morley says: "Pete and I are really looking forward to touring with The Answer and it's a real pleasure to be flying the flag for British rock music. I think both bands are ideally suited and it'll be a great experience for audience and musicians alike. Roll on March!"
