Mundy fans that will only settle for a live sampling and signed album copy on the first day of release are advised to secure their aisle space at HMV Grafton Street when Mundy makes his in-store appearance on May 14 at 5pm.

The Offaly singer-songwriter will be performing songs from his third and highly anticipated new offering Raining Down Arrows. Recorded in Texas and mixed in France by David Odlum, the album gets the emphatic John Walshe seal of approval in the new issue of Hot Press (in stores tomorrow, May 6).

Straight into the promo duties, Mundy plays three dates in Dublin next week - Whelan's (May 13), The Village, (15) and Vicar St. (18) – before hitting Waterford, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Drogheda and Killarney.
