Touchstone are to go on hiatus due to the departure of Kim Seviour, who's bowing out as a result of a medical condition. Guitarist Adam Hodgson says: "John will be performing some of the songs from his most recent release, the critically acclaimed Lonely Robot album Please Come Home.

"Only a few of us were lucky enough to see him perform these songs, stripped back, at his album launch event in London. We wanted to find an opportunity for more people to enjoy the songs like this - and we have the perfect excuse."
