The Saw Doctors certainly know how to keep themselves busy - they've confirmed lengthy tours in both the UK and US.

Preceding all of this is an Irish date at the Sky Venue in Portlaoise. Their hometown fans need not despair though - they've already confirmed details of their next Galway gig, which takes place at the East Galway Village of New Inn on Friday June 23.
After which they'll deserve a long break, but knowing their work ethic, there's little chance of that!
