Singer and actress, Heather Peace has announced that she will strap on her white Gretch guitar and set out on her first ever UK solo tour of 500 capacity venues in April 2011.

The tour will be the first opportunity for the majority of Heather's fans to hear a mix of songs from current album 'This Is Me' alongside brand new tracks from her new album due to be released in Spring 2011.

Kicking off in Glasgow on Friday April 1st, the tour will work its way South before culminating in a spectacular finale show with very special guests and an after-show party in London on Friday April 15th.

2010 was a massive year for Heather. She was placed in the Top 40 of the Independent on Sundays annual Pink List and she set hearts alight with her performance as DS Sam Murray in BBC Three's Lip Service. Throughout November and December, she also drove around the country performing her songs at 180 capacity venues that sold out within minutes of going on sale.Heather will be accompanied on the whole tour by singer songwriter Jill Jackson who will perform songs from her new album Back To Zero (due for release Spring 2011) as well as joining Heather on stage.

Jill Jackson first burst onto the UK music scene in 2003 as the front woman of rock band Speedway. Since the band went their separate ways, Jill has been making a name for herself as a solo artist. Recently her song Just Not Myself was featured in the penultimate episode of BBC Threes Lip Service. For Jill 'Back To Zero' is an album four years in the making; This new record will be the one that defines me as a writer. Its fun, intense and hugely personal.

Heather adds: "2010 was an amazing year for me and I'm so happy to be back writing songs and gigging. There was a point in my career where I felt like I had to choose between acting and music and at the time the acting route felt right. I didnt like the ideas that record labels had for me and I wasnt really ready to show myself completely. The title of the current album is This Is Me because for the first time I feel confident about the place that my songs are coming from. I cant wait to share that with everyone on tour and to try out some new songs from the next album too."
