NEIL Arthur has announced a home town gig with his band Blancmange later in the year.

The electro pioneers will be setting out on a full UK tour in November to promote their new album Wanderlust and they have included a date at Darwen Library Theatre.

After major success in the 1980s with singles such as Living On The Ceiling and Blind Vision Neil, who also writes music for film and TV, returned in 2011 with the album Blanc Burn and hasn’t looked back since.

The band have just completed a string of sell-out shows.
