30 years ago, as Mike Peters undertook a creative song-writing journey through the heart of his home country \u2013 Wales and across the UK, the Berlin Wall would fall and Europe itself, would plunge into a period of enormous and seismic change. Caught in the middle of this political maelstrom, Mike Peters and the Alarm recorded the albums \u2018Eye of The Hurricane\u2019 (1987), Electric Folklore (1988), and \u2018Change\u2019 (1989), each of which would, in their own way, capture the essence of these most turbulent times.
\nThe Hurricane of Change tour will be performed solo with a first set dedicated to \u2018Eye Of The Hurricane\u2019 followed by a second performance of songs from the \u2018Change\u2019 album then a third set featuring music from The Alarm\u2019s classic live recording \u2018Electric Folklore\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always seen these three albums as an Alarm trilogy\u201d, says Mike Peters. \u201cA lot happened to the band and the world, during the writing and recording sessions from 1987-1990. As one decade bled into another, the themes of response and resolve to contend with uncertain times are running through the core of each and every album. Played together these songs tell their own story, and with the tumultuous times Europe and the World can expect to face in the coming months and years, are still as relevant today as when they were first written.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
