FM announce Rosalie Cunningham, Brave Rival and Jack J Hutchinson as special guests on UK tour

FM are pleased to announce their “Brotherhood UK Tour” during September 2025. Tickets are available from TheGigCartel.com and FMOfficial.com. **Rosalie Cunningham replaces Tygers of Pan Tang at selected dates.

FM will perform songs from their past 14 albums including their 1986 debut album Indiscreet, plus Tough It Out, Metropolis, Synchronized, and their highly anticipated forthcoming studio album Brotherhood, plus many more.

Formed in the 80’s by the Overland brothers, FM have become one of the UK’s seminal rock bands. The band features Steve Overland (vocals), Merv Goldsworthy (bass), Pete Jupp (drums), Jem Davis (keyboards), and Jim Kirkpatrick (guitar).

“From our meeting in a Notting Hill pub in 1984 to our “one off” comeback gig at Firefest 2007, it’s great to now tour beyond our 40th Anniversary shows,” says FM’s drummer, Pete Jupp. “Who’d have thought we’d reach such a milestone?”

FM’s special guests are three hotly tipped artists including *Brave Rival, and ***Jack J Hutchinson, and as previously mentioned, **Rosalie Cunningham (who replaces Tygers of Pang Tang).

Rosalie Cunningham is a multiple award-winning singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who first came to prominence through her former bands Purson and Ipso Facto. In 2019, Rosalie embarked on her solo career, releasing her Mercury Music Prize nominated, eponymous debut album earning herself a Top 10 placing in the UK’s official independent chart, and received rave reviews from Classic Rock, Uncut, Mojo and Kerrang.  

Rosalie built on her burgeoning reputation as an original, thought-provoking songwriter and musician with the release of her second solo album Two Piece Puzzle to universal acclaim in 2022. Reviews included: The Times – 4/5 ‘fantastic’; Powerplay – 10/10 ‘a heady mix… infused with Rosalie’s unique ability to entertain and enthral the listener’; Shindig – 5/5 ‘sexy, loud and bursting with ideas’; Uncut – 8/10 ‘dazzling’.

Throughout the remainder of that year and 2023, an extensive touring schedule taking in venues and festivals throughout the UK and Europe gave audiences the opportunity to experience Rosalie’s compelling, captivating and charismatic live performance.

In January 2023, these, together with the acclamation afforded to Two Piece Puzzle, culminated in her being named Female Vocalist of the Year by the readers of PROG magazine.   In November 2024 she released her studio album To Shoot Another Day to ecstatic reviews.
