Shaun Ryder Reforms Black Grape And Announces London Gig

Black Grape have reformed and announced plans to play their first gig in 12 years.

The group, fronted by Shaun Ryder, will perform at The Coronet Theatre on April 1 as part of Get Loaded in The Dark.

The reformation comes ahead of the release of Ryder's greatest hits album, which is due out in the summer.

Black Grape formed in 1993 following the disintegration of the Happy Mondays. The original line-up also included Ryder's bandmate Bez.

The group split in 1998 after the singer sacked the group's other members.
