January means but one thing, the return of the The Certain Three tour, which this year features the combined talents of Katie Kim, The Lost Brothers and Puzzle Muteson.

While you’re likely as not au fait with the first two, the last on the list is an enigmatic Isle of Wight singer-songwriter who has a raft of Icelandic connections.
Catch them in the Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar (January 12); Half Moon, Cork (14); Pine Lodge, Myrtleville (15); Bourke’s, Limerick (19); Swan Lane, Navan (20); Theatre Royal, Waterford (21); Roisin Dubh, Galway (26); Workman’s Club, Dublin (27); Spirit Store, Dundalk (28); and Model, Sligo (February 4).

On the release front, January 12 finds Katie Kim dropping Cover & Flood, a double-vinyl package featuring 20 new songs she’s recorded in her home studio and by the sea. Check out the six-track album sampler at [link]katiekim.bandcamp.com/album/cover-and-flood-sampler[/link]
