Jack Peñate covers classic UK Number One on new single

There's news of a UK tour too

Jack Peñate has covered a classic UK Number One on the B-side of his new single.

The recent NME cover star will follow up his Top Ten hit 'Torn On The Platform' with 'Second, Minute Or Hour', which is out on September 24.

The plethora of B-sides includes a cover of Beats International’s ‘Dub Be Good To Me’, a Number one hit in 1990, and itself a revamped version of The SOS Band’s disco classic 'Just Be Good To Me'.

Peñate’s as-yet untitled debut album follows a week later (October 1).

After a string of festival appearances, the singer also hits the road for a UK and Irish tour later this year, kicking off just before the single's release.
