With two sell-outs already under his metaphorical belt, Paolo Nutini has announced an all ages matinee gig in the Dublin Academy on December 21. Tickets priced €22 go on sale on Monday.
The Scottish singer, who’s playing at both the Edinburgh and Glasgow Hogmanay celebrations, will be previewing his as-yet-untitled second album, which is due in early 2009.
Also confirming a February 20 visit to the Northside venue are Dreadzone, the reggae/dance crossover merchants whose 'Little Britain' used to soundtrack ITV's late night Football League coverage. Note to band: please release the mix with Barry Fry's "Get in there my son!" on it. Tickets are €22.50.
