FM are pleased to announce their new full band “Brotherhood” tour for Sept 2025
 
FM will perform songs from their past 14 albums including their 1984 debut album Indiscreet, plus Tough It Out, Metropolis, Synchronized and many more.
 
Formed in the 80's by the Overland brothers FM have become one of the UK's seminal Rock Bands. The bands current line is Steve Overland – Vocals, Merv Goldsworthy - Bass, Pete Jupp - Drums, Jem Davis – Keyboards and Jim Kirkpatrick – Guitar.
 
“From our meeting in a Notting Hill pub in 1984 to our "one off" comeback gig at Firefest 2007, it's great to now tour beyond our 40th Anniversary shows,” says FM’s drummer, Pete Jupp. “Who'd have thought we'd reach such a milestone?”
 

Rosalie Cunningham 

 

With her highly anticipated third solo album To Shoot Another Day set for release on November 1, 2024, Rosalie Cunningham continues to carve her path as one of the UK’s most distinctive voices in rock. A multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter with a flair for the theatrical and the thought-provoking, Rosalie has long been admired for her fearless musical creativity and charismatic live performances.

 

Rosalie first rose to prominence with her former bands Purson and Ipso Facto, before launching her solo career in 2019 with a Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album. Released on Cherry Red’s Esoteric Antenna label, the record achieved a Top 10 spot in the UK’s Official Independent Albums Chart and earned praise from Classic Rock, Mojo, Uncut, and Kerrang.

 

“fantastic” – ★★★★ The Times

“a heady mix… infused with Rosalie’s unique ability to entertain and enthral the listener” – 10/10 Powerplay

“sexy, loud and bursting with ideas” – ★★★★★ Shindig

“dazzling” – 8/10 Uncut

An extensive UK and European tour throughout 2022 and 2023 followed, showcasing Rosalie’s compelling and captivating live presence. In January 2023, her talent was recognised when PROG Magazine readers named her Female Vocalist of the Year.

The momentum continued into 2024 with a standout performance at Fusion Festival, followed by a 17-date tour across Scandinavia and Europe. She returned to Sweden in June to appear at Muskelrock, all while continuing work on To Shoot Another Day, set once again for release through Esoteric Antenna. A limited edition 7” vinyl featuring “Return of The Ellington” and “Home” marked the first taste of the new material.

Capturing the essence of her live brilliance, the Live at Acapela album was recorded during a September 2023 UK tour and released in December 2023 on Machine Elf Records.

Rosalie will round off 2024 with appearances at Germany’s famed Rockpalast and her most extensive European tour to date, including shows in France, Spain, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria.

As To Shoot Another Day prepares to make its mark, Rosalie Cunningham stands poised as a singular talent — bold, inventive, and utterly uncompromising.
