LEGENDARY former Byrds frontman and founding member, Roger McGuinn, returns for a hotly anticipated solo UK tour which includes the Sage Gateshead on Sunday, June 21.

The Bryds’ era was defined by songs like Eight Miles High, Mr Tambourine Man, Turn, Turn, Turn and All I Really Wanna Do which became classics of the new folk rock sound.

McGuinn’s trademark Rickenbacker 12-string sound has influenced generations of musicians and this show will draw from his huge back catalogue, including his Grammy-nominated project, Treasures From The Folk Den and his critically acclaimed four-CD box set, The Folk Den Project.

Last year he released 22 Timeless Tracks From The Folk Den Project.
