Ex–English Martyrs student from Hartlepool hits the road on first rock tour
A Hartlepool singer is getting ready to embark on her first UK-tour in April.
Former English Martyrs student Abbie Rose Herring is hitting the road with her alternative rock band Abnorm for the first time in April.
Formed in 2021, the Newcastle-based band features singer Abbie, guitarist Ryan Brown, from Seaham, and drummer Adam Willis, from Sunderland.
Abbie, 28, said: “It’s actually a dream to do it. We have local bands supporting us and we’re playing at independent venues.
"We have never played outside the North East before so it will be all new people seeing us.
"It’s going to be a whole new experience.”
Abnorm’s Rats tour will be starting in Belfast before heading to London, Nottingham, Leeds, Edinburgh and ending in Newcastle.
Abbie said: “It’s just something we love doing so we keep going.”
The trio will be performing their latest single Rats, sparked by Adam’s real-life battle with rats living inside his walls.
