JOSH RITTER – Olympia Theatre, Dublin, 13th February
2004.
Buoyed by the massive success of his last Irish tour
(thanks to everyone who came out, it was pretty obvious how blown away Josh was)
and his ‘Hello Starling’ album, Josh Ritter and band will play The Olympia
Theatre on Friday 13th February 2004. Tickets available on www.ticketmaster.ie
Tickets are priced a very reasonable €20 ( including booking fee)
but as normal with ticketmaster extra handing fees will apply depending on how
you buy them. The cheapest way of buying them is to either walk into the Olympia
box office on Dame Street or buy them from Road Records on Fade Street or
Soundcellar on Nassau Street.
There are also plans afoot for an e.p. to coincide with the date and there may
also be a couple of regional shows announced soon. More about that later.
MARK GEARY – new e.p. and Irish tour
Mark Geary releases a new e.p. on 28th November to coincide with
a December tour.
Featuring the double A-sides of 'It Beats Me' and 'America (revisited)', both
tracks have been re-recorded by David Odlum and originally appeared on Mark's
‘33 1/3 Grand Street’ album which was released earlier this year.
The new versions feature backing vocals from Gemma Hayes. Also featured on the
new e.p. are previously unreleased songs 'I'm Tired' (a track leftover
from the album sessions) and the seasonal 'Christmas Biscuits'. As an
extra treat there's also a video of Mark doing 'It Beats Me' live at Whelan's
earlier this year where he's joined unexpectedly by young Glen Hansard.
The album 33 1/3 Grand Street has also been repackaged in a new slip case for
release on 28th November and Mark is working on a new album for release around
next April.
