Madrid-based Irish act Track Dogs - formerly known as The Garrett Wall Band - have confirmed a host of Irish dates for November.

The band will visit Crane Lane, Cork (November 14), Halo, Galway (15), Tally Ho, Longford (16), John Daly's, Mullingar (17), Coynes, Tullycross (18, 19).

And for anyone planning a Spanish break, the photographs from TD's most recent self-titled album (see below) will be exhibited in Madrid next month as part of Irish photographer Ronan Kirby's Dúchais Collection. Check them out at Muelle 17, C/ Barco.

Meanwhile, the band plan to start work on their next album Dust Devils over the coming weeks. What's more, their Christmas song (only 97 days to go people!!) 'How Christmas Was Meant To Be' will be included in a US compilation called Together For Christmas (A Contemporary Celtic Christmas Compilation) which is due out in October and features tracks by Damien Dempsey, The High Kings and George Murphy.
