Lauded Wexford musician and frequent Christy Moore cohort Declan Sinnott only released his debut solo album at the age of 62 but the follow-up to 2012's I Love The Noise It Makes is coming along much more promptly.
Window On The World was recorded in Declan's home studio and features songs penned by the man himself and a number of co-writes with his friend Owen O'Brien. It arrives May 15.
The summer, Sinnott will be gigging up a storm in the UK and Ireland, with Christy Moore, Vickie Keating and in a solo capacity. His big headline show in Whelan's is set for Sunday May 31 and here are all the dates in full (Irish shows in bold):
