THE PROFESSIONALS return this month with a new line-up and tour.
Following a summer spent playing the festivals with Generation Sex, Paul Cook has hooked up once more with Tom Spencer and recruited guitarist Dean Croney and bassist Marc Hayward.
From late October to mid-November, they'll be heading round the UK, sharing stages on six dates with The Rezillos. They'll also be celebrating the tour with a double-vinyl release pairing their two most recent albums What In The World and SNAFU, which will also include a free CD featuring a brand new track and a surprise cover.
