Thoroughly brilliant songsmith Fionn Regan has been named as support for daytime radio favourite Damien Rice on his forthcoming four-date UK 'tour'. Is four dates a tour?
The duo are currently on tour in Australia, and will return to these shores for the following events:
March 27 London Hammersmith Apollo 29 Wolverhampton Civic Hall 30 Manchester Apollo 31 Edinburgh Usher Hall
Mister Rice returns for another nine-date tour later in the year, fact fans. In the meantime, Regan embarks on his own headline tour of Ireland:
April 19 Dublin Whelans 20 Dublin Crawdaddy 22 Belfast Empire 25 Letterkenny An Grianan 26 Castlebar TF Royal 27 Galway Roisin Dubh 28 Limerick Dolans 29 Cork The Savoy
Regan is signed to Rice's record label Heffa in Ireland, and his debut album, The End Of History, is still excellent and out now on Bella Union in the UK. You can see the innovative video for latest single 'Be Good Or Be Gone' by clicking here. I reckon that'll open in Windows Media Player or something. You can also view it on the Fionn Regan MySpace.
Sorry to any fans of Damien Rice, I guess this article wasn't really about him so much. Er... his new album, 9, is out in all good record shops. That '9 Crimes' was alright, wasn't it?
