We’re happy to announce that CUD are back to do a series of UK shows this summer, with original guitarist Mike Dunphy back in the fold.

Dates are still being finalised – more news soon.

30 November 1989. CUD”s first tour outside the UK, and behind the Berlin Wall as it began to tumble.

In Leeds for August? Check out the Leeds Music History exhibition at Leeds Town Hall Crypt.

There you’ll find artefacts from Carl and Will’s personal collections of CUD memorabilia on display amongst various items chronicling the fine musical legacy of their adopted city.

22 months on from retirement, CUD stormed back to the stage at the Hootananny for the first of two London shows and the much-delayed single.

Not sure the group decision to bear moustaches was a good decision but coming back surely was.

See you again on the 20th!
