A big thank you to everyone who came out to the Josh Ritter shows in Galway, Dublin and Cork. It blew everyone's mind that all three shows not only sold out in advance but that the reaction was so warm and people so enthusiastic at all the venues.

So the good news is, Josh is going to come back in May and play some of the places he didn't get to this time around. Details are below.

Also the 'Snow Is Gone' e.p. has just hit the shops. It features amongst other things, the track 'Tonight You Belong To Me' which he performed as an encore with Erin McKeown at the shows and everyone seemed to love it. The version on the e.p. Is a duet with Boston singer Blake Hazard and it's every bit as special as the live performance.


By the way the e.p. is just outside the top ten in the mid weeks. If you all buy it this week it could nudge it's way upwards. For those having problems getting hold out of it, it can also be bought from the lovely Dave and Julie at www.roadrecs.com
