The Manics will make a 200 mile round trip to celebrate the release of ‘National Treasures’ at three HMV stores in one day. They release their new album ‘National Treasures – The Complete Singles’ on 31st October 2011 and will travel from Cardiff to Birmingham and then Manchester to sign copies at the HMV stores in each town. The album is a celebration of the art of the ‘single’ so what better way to rejoice in this by going to record shops where most of us bought our first 7”’s and CD’s. Starting at HMV’s Queen Street store in Cardiff, Nicky Wire, James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore will be at the store from 9.30 am to meet fans, then travel to Birmingham for the next signing session at 1pm. They finish in Manchester at 6pm at the Market Street store. Store times are as follows: HMV Cardiff Monday 31st October 2011 at 9.30 am HMV Birmingham Monday 31st October 2011 at 1.00 pm HMV Manchester Monday 31st October 2011 at 6.00 pm
