Starting out from Southend on May 16 2015, the tour will arrive in Edinburgh on Tuesday June 2 and finish at the Sage in Gateshead a week later on June 8.

The You Raise Me Up album of cover versions was recorded using the PledgeMusic crowdfunding site and is set for release this Monday, June 30 2014.

Tickets for the You Raise Me Up tour go on sale  Friday, June 27, at 10am, three days before the album comes out. Barrowman’s official twitter feed, @Team_Barrowman, has a link for its followers to purchase tickets on Thursday.

In a statement in support of the tour, Barrowman said: “I’m so excited to be touring again that I’m choreographing songs and arranging stories in my sleep.

“This album has been a thrilling personal journey for me. Each lyric, each melody means something special. I can’t wait to perform them live for all my fans who helped fund You Raise Me Up.”
