Badly Drawn Boy is proud of having been Born in the U.K., and to prove it, he's playing three shows at fish and chips eateries in England in February. Tickets are obtainable only attainable via a mobile phone contest, so get to texting.

But greasy fast food establishments aren't the only place you can catch Damon Gough performing this season. He kicked off a European tour last night in Switzerland, and hits North America in March.

Gough also has a single, "A Journey from A to B", on its way February 19. It will be available on CD and two seven inches, one featuring "This Is the Day (Oui FM)" as its B-side, and the other "Welcome to the Overground (live)". The latter track is included on the CD as well.
