About David Ford

David Ford’s 2005 debut Album I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I’ve Caused took the music world quite unawares.

Understated but ambitious, it is a collection of honest, tender, visceral moments recorded in a Sussex basement that would go on to receive worldwide acclaim and be declared one of the Albums of the Year by major publications on both sides of the Atlantic.

Twenty years on, Ford returns to the road to revisit the album that kicked open every door to the music industry and to tell the story of how, one by one, he carefully closed them all.

Featuring special guest performers as well as Ford’s renowned feats of multi-instrumentalism, this celebration of I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I’ve Caused is a rare chance to see the album performed in its entirety, along with selected highlights from the illustrious David Ford songbook.
