Eric Clapton has announced plans to tour the UK in May 2006. With a new band, he will play in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Nottingham, before returning to the venue he has made his own, the Royal Albert Hall, for seven shows. Clapton, who was reunited recently with his Cream bandmates Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker for seven sensational shows in the Royal Albert Hall and New York’s Madison Square Garden, last toured the UK in May 2004.
