Mike Skinner, the creative force behind The Streets, expressed his enthusiasm for the tour:
"A Grand Don't Come For Free was a moment in time—for me, and for everyone who grew up with it. I wrote it as a story from beginning to end, even studying screenwriting to shape it and without the faintest idea how people would react. We've been looking for something bold to do with the live show, and we landed here: some tracks have never been played live, others haven't surfaced in years. It's a new challenge to bring the whole journey to life on stage, but I have an incredible band and we always give everything every night. So I'm certain we'll make finding out what happened to that thousand quid a party every night." (readdork.com)
This announcement follows a period of creative activity for Skinner, including the release of his debut feature film, The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light, and collaborations on major campaigns. (readdork.com)
