During his whistlestop visit Channel Five HQ earlier this year, Neighbours legend Alan Fletcher (aka Dr Karl Kennedy) teased viewers that he was gearing up for a tour - and, true to his word, this month sees soapland's rock doc return to these shores to kick off a series of live gigs across the UK.

Alan will be performing a mixture of classic covers and original material with his band The X-Rays, plus special guest Tommy Rando. The two-week tour includes a string of dates at Aussie bar chain Walkabout, coming to a close at Manchester's K2 nightclub:

29 Nov - Derby Walkabout (tickets)
30 Nov - Nottingham Walkabout (tickets)
1 Dec - Sheffield Walkabout (tickets)
2 Dec - Leeds Walkabout (tickets)
4 Dec - London Temple Walkabout
5 Dec - Liverpool Walkabout (tickets)
6 Dec - Edinburgh Walkabout (tickets)
7 Dec - Birmingham Walkabout (tickets)
8 Dec - Cardiff Walkabout (tickets)
9 Dec - Swansea Walkabout (tickets)
10 Dec - Manchester, K2 Nightclub (tickets)

And if you can't make it this time round, don't fret - UK fans can also catch Alan making an apperance on this Sunday's edition of the Xtra Factor and, on 4 December, Soccer AM.
