Ricky Warwick to play "special" acoustic date

Get that patched denim jacket out - former Almighty frontman Ricky Warwick gets back in the hot seat with a new album, Love Many, Trust Few.

The album is being supported by a special acoustic appearance at the Spirit Store in Dundalk on March 31.

Intriguingly, he warns: “get your glad rags on, show your mum how to set the video, you might finally get on TV. The show is going to be filmed for a very special occasion.” He also speaks of “guests” appearing, but lips remain firmly sealed.

Like his debut album Tattoos and Alibis, his second solo effort is produced by Def Leppard’s own Joe Elliott, and also sees their guitarist Vivian Campbell make a special appearance.

But the name-dropping status of the album doesn’t end there - artwork and design for the Love Many… was concocted by Steve Averill, best known for providing visuals for U2.

Warwick releases the album on May 16, with a tour being planned as we speak to coincide.
