Bell X1 man Dave Geraghty will be launching his first solo album Kill Your Darlings in the Liffey Valley branch of Golden Discs in Dublin this Friday at 6:00pm. He'll perform selected tracks from the record and sign copies for fans. He'll also be appearing at HMV Grafton Street the following Thursday (September 13) at 5.30pm.

On Saturday, genre-defying rockers Alabama 3 (pictured) will be signing copies of their new album M.O.R., also in HMV Grafton Street.

And on Monday, Paddy Casey pops up in the 3Store on Grafton Street at lunchtime to perform tracks from his new album Addicted To Company and give 'video autographs' to fans.

Keep an eye out for an interview with Alabama 3 in next fortnight's issue of Hot Press.
