Former Arab Strap Scotsman Malcolm Middleton - he will make it up to you with lots of steak McCoys - is to play a number of Fopp stores in February and March.

Middleton releases his third solo album, and first for new(ish) label Full Time Hobby, on February 26. A Brighter Beat is the record's title, and it's sure to be reviewed on these pages before long.

Each of the Fopp instores is a free-entry event, but attendees must get a wristband from the store in question on the day of the gig. Said 'tickets' are available for collection from 9am each morning.

Them there dates, then, and the performance times...

February 26 Aberdeen @ 1pm 26 Dundee @ 6pm 27 Edinburgh (Rose Street) @ 1pm 27 Glasgow (Union Street) @ 5pm 28 Manchester @ 1pm 28 Nottingham @ 6pm

March 1 Bristol Horsefair @ 1pm 1 Bath Westgate @ 6pm 2 Brighton @ 1pm 2 London Tottenham Court Road @ 6pm
