About this Event

"Will Never Die"…. are the three words of intent from Mike Peters and The Alarm's 'Sixty Eight Guns' evergreen 1983 hit single which was at the centre of the band's worldwide smash hit album 'Declaration' which will celebrate it's 30th anniversary in 2014.



A unique one man band 'Alarm' tour by lead singer and songwriter Mike Peters will present the album in a contemporary setting with performance, stories and images to highlight the impact this album had on the decade it was born in and it's ongoing relevance as Mike Peters continues his personal fight against cancer with the Love Hope Strength cancer charity 'Saving lives - One Concert At A Time'.



Upon release in February 1984, Declaration debuted at number 6 in the UK charts, achieving gold record status before becoming a top 40 hit in the USA. The Alarm's sound was powered by unique electro-acoustic guitars that no one had seen before, at the time prompting Rolling Stone Magazine to write "One of the best new live bands..., and they've put a lot of that power into their first album".



30 years on from the release of the album that brought Mike Peters and The Alarm to the attention of the world, Mike is still challenging that same audience through the outreach of his music and charitable actions and literally living out the words that open the Declaration album 'Take this song of freedom, put it on and arm yourself for the fight, our hearts must have the courage to keep on marching on and on".
