Edwyn Collins, the Scottish indie great who fronted Orange Juice in the ’80s, scored a solo hit in the ’90s with “A Girl Like You,” and survived a massive, debilitating stroke in the ’00s, has announced ‘The Testimonial Tour – A Last Lap Around The U.K.,’ which he says will be his last-ever tour. It happens this fall with stops in Glasgow, Buxton, Bath, Southhampton, Brighton, London, Norwich, Manchester and Newcastle. .
The tour will be in support of upcoming 10th solo album, “Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation“, which is out March 14th via his own AED Records. He’s just shared a new single from it, “The Heart is a Foolish Little Thing,” which Edwyn says, “I suppose I’m thinking about heartbreak when you’re young and how daft it all seems now. At the time though, it’s intense. I remember.”
“The Heart is a Foolish Little Thing” is the second track from Edwyn’s 2025 album ‘Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation.’ The video is once again directed by Delbert Anthonio Wright and features the beautiful mountains and coastline of Caithness, Scotland. Edwyn’s cap is covering a very sore forehead after an unfortunate man-meets-asphalt incident! Out on his own AED Records on Friday 14th March 2025, the 11-track album was recorded at his Clashnarrow Studio in Helmsdale, North East Scotland and was co-produced by Edwyn with Sean Read & Jake Hutton.
