Doves - Mercury nominees, authors of the lovely The Last Broadcast, and consisting of one part "sensitive artist" to two parts "greedy bastards" - to play Dublin in mid-November

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Aug 2002

Doves celebrate their recent Sounding Off appearance with a Dublin Ambassador show on November 15.

It's part of an extensive UK and Irish tour - which may well serve as a lap of honour for them winning the 2002 Mercury Music Prize, as the Mancunians are joint 4/1 favourites to walk away with the £25,000 cheque when it's handed out next month in London.

"I'd give it to distressed donkeys or something but Jez and Andy (Williams), well, they'd kick the crap out of each other to get the twenty-five grand," laugh singer Jimi Goodwin. " I'm the sensitive artist, they're the greedy bastards!"

With the recently released Some Cities completing a trio of gorgeously layered masterpieces, Doves are the band many take for granted. Brilliance is expected, and we have become accustomed to excellence from the Manchester trio. If there was anything unexpected about their set at a sold out Olympia, it was that we may have forgotten beforehand just how special they really are.

If there was anything unexpected about Doves set at a sold out Olympia, it was that we may have forgotten beforehand just how special they really are. It didn’t take long for one's memory to kick into gear.

Some Cities rages with a certain urgency, the sounds of a stolen car ride, charging from the outset with ‘Some Cities’, a thumping, forceful track that impressively kicks off proceedings. However, after this, the album is ripe with lush, pastoral texture, and is Doves’ most uplifting and thoroughly confident work to date.

With the last broadcast up for a Mercury and Slane just around the corner, Jimi Goodwin of Doves is happy to enthuse about Planxty, U2, The Streets and Sean O'Hagan. Just don't call his band "the new Radiohead"
