Original Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno brings his new band of Italian hotshots to Ireland for dates at the Rosetta, Belfast (February 24); Dolan’s, Limerick (25); Nancy Spain’s, Cork (26); and Whelan’s, Dublin (27).

Although it’s been over 20 years since he last trod the board with Maiden, Di’Anno still belts out a mean ‘Sanctuary’ and regards anything less than 200 gigs a year as slacking.

Support throughout is provided by Celtic metallers Scavenger who’ll be plugging their Ethereal Journey album.
