The year hasn’t been half bad for Pugwash – fifth album The Olympus Sound entered the indie charts at No. 3 back in August and paved the way for Irish gigs galore. Amicable single ‘Answers on a Postcard’ garnered significant radio play for one Thomas Walsh, and now his talented troupe has announced a second single entitled ‘The Fall’.

The track is out right now – so if you’re not downloading it from iTunes, you really should be.

And if you’re the type to go weak at the knees at the prospect of limited edition vinyl, you’re in luck. The new single can be bought in all its glory on 7-inch vinyl with second track ‘Happy Again’ keeping it company. However, copies have been strictly limited to 100, so get in there quick.

Whelan’s will be the venue of choice for the special Christmas show on December 22, with special guests to be unveiled on the night. Tickets can be bought online from all the usual suspects.

Below is a sneak preview of a late night (or early morning) acoustic version of the single ‘The Fall’. You can also read Thomas Walsh’s input to the Hot Press Round Table discussion in our next issue, out this Thursday December 1.
