Ghostpoet, aka London-based MC Obarao Ejimiwe, has confirmed a show in Cork's Pavilion Theatre on March 18. Ejimiwe released his Mercury-nominated debut Peanut Butter Blues And Melancholy Jam last year, and performed a sell-out Whelan's gig in September. As previously reported on hotpress.com, he'll revisit the Dublin venue on February 22.

Support on the night in the People's Republic comes from Dublin rapper Lethal Dialect, who's interviewed in next week's issue of HP. A double whammy if ever there was one!
