Expect the “house full” signs to go up early on December 20 when David Kitt plays a one-off show in Vicar St.
Pride of place will doubtless go to The Black And Red Notebook, his new covers album which finds him getting to grips with the likes of Sonic Youth, Thin Lizzy and The Beatles.

Keeping him company in D8 are Paul McKenna (11 & 12); Rodrigo y Gabriela (13 & 14); Jason O’Callaghan sings the music of Dean Martin & The Rat Pack; Josh Ritter (16 & 17); Hothouse Flowers (19); Ronan Keating (21); Jason Byrne (23); and Aslan (27 to 29).

And if you'd like to score free tickets to Rodrigo y Gabriela's December 14 date at Vicar St. (the 13th is sold out), then be sure to complete your entry at www.hotpress.com/competitions/ where you can also hear audio streaming from their Live in Manchester & Dublin album.
