Scottish twee pop ensemble Belle & Sebastian have just announced their first UK & Ireland tour since 2006. We're looking forward to seeing Stuart Murdoch and his merry band perform tunes from their seven excellent albums (well, six really, 'Storytelling' hardly counts), and hopefully some new ones too.

Belle & Sebastian play Belfast's Ulster Hall on December 1st (£27.50 - £31.00) and Dublin's Grand Canal Theatre on December 3rd (€39.20 - €44.20). Tickets go on sale this Friday July 23rd at 9am
