Paddy Casey heads south tonight for his Waterford gig, concluding his sell-out Irish tour and rounding of a thoroughly successful 'comeback' year, as it were.

Not yet ready to lock up the tour bus, Casey will play not one, but two, hometown shows in January, with a second date at The Village just announced.

Paddy will now appear January 22 (ahead the now sold-out January 23 gig), plus a one-off show in The Venue in Kilkenny, January 16.

This week also sees the release of 'Lucky One', the second single to be lifted from Paddy's Living (or should be say 'Thriving') album, which has now sold in excess of 20, 000 copies nationwide.

Tickets for the Dublin gig are on sale now from Road Records, Sound Cellar, and Ticketmaster and are priced from €18.50.
