The phenomenal demand for tickets sees Ash playing extra Dublin dates at the Ambassador on December 14th and the Olympia on the 15th.

Prior to that comes the unleashing of Tokyo Blitz, an hour-long DVD, which features such faves as ‘Burn Baby Burn’, ‘A Life Less Ordinary’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Oh Yeah’ and ‘Kung Fu’. There are also lashings and lashings of extras, including the option to view in wide-screen.

The band have also confirmed the December 31st release of ‘There’s A Star’. The fifth single to be lifted from Free All Angels, the bonus cuts include the Charlotte Hatherley-crooned ‘Grey Will Fade’, ‘Coasting’, ‘No Place To Hide’ and a cover of the Fixed Stars’ ‘Here Comes The Music’. Chuck in Videomaster update clips and the fourth episode of Ash Go Global, and you’re talking about a serious must-have.
