Product Information

Spraggan announced a headline European tour to promote her studio album I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing (2017), starting at The Waterfront, Norwich on 1 March and concluding at the Gruner Salon, Berlin on 28 March 2017. The tour consisted of 18 dates in total. Summer festival highlights for Spraggan included performances at Hope & Glory (Wonders of the Age Stage), Isle of Wight (Big Top Stage), Glastonbury (Acoustic) and Tramlines (Sheffield). Over the last decade, many people have told me they are aware of what really happened to me while I was competing on the X Factor in 2012 – some very directly. A journalist from Sheffield sat me down in front of a camera in my dressing room before my show for a “relaxed interview” and in the middle of nonchalant questions about what it’s like on the road, and what bands I’m into at the moment, said, “I heard you were raped and that is the reason you left the show.” A man in a London bar once shook my hand and blurted out the exact same sentence, waiting for my response as if he’d just asked me if I was having a good night. In those moments, the story was more important than the fact that I was a human being. It was inappropriate for anybody – including contestants – to be drunk,” she said in an interview with the Guardian. “How can you fulfil your duty of care when free alcohol is involved?”
