Honorary Irishman Ron Sexsmith returns to live duty next month with visits to The Pavilion, Cork (October 7); Dolan's, Limerick (8), and Roisin Dubh, Galway (9).
He'll be plugging 'Sure As The Sky', the latest single from his Carousel One album, which he expand on thusly: “I was writing that one and thinking of how Judy Collins did the song ‘Turn! Turn! Turn!’ before The Byrds had recorded it and how they went and turned it into something more anthemic."
As for the rest of the album, Ron proffers that: “I didn’t realise until we were putting the songs together for Carousel One that this would be more outgoing, there's a lot more humour. I mean, there’s even a smiling picture on the cover, which I’ve never had before. I just hope it doesn’t scare the children!”
