The signing will take place at the Talbot Road branch of Rough Trade Records, next Tuesday, September 11 at 6pm.

Reclusive Ayers has possibly never done a record signing ever before โ€“ his press officer says: โ€œWe canโ€™t remember the last time, if ever, Kevin has done a signing before so please be gentle with him.โ€
