"I picked some of my favourite songs that I had written during my time in Mansun, ones that I also felt could be interpreted by a full unplugged acoustic band & reimagined in a more mature way for a new audience as well as existing fans." - Paul Draper In the late '90s, Mansun carved out their own corner of British music with albums like 'Attack Of The Grey Lantern' (a UK No.1), 'Six' & 'Little Kix' - works that built a loyal cult following with Draper at the heart of the chaos. Nearly three decades later, he's revisiting that world & meeting his younger self across the years. In Spring 2026, Paul Draper will tour the UK, playing all Mansun's Top 40 singles including 5 Top Ten's with his full electric band at a series of prestigious venues.
