Grand expectations

Mark Geary's workaholic tendencies show no signs of abating with his 33 1/3 Grand Street album getting a plug at The Village, Dublin (April 11); Cleere's, Kilkenny (12); Half Moon, Cork (13); King's Bar, Waterford (15); Scholar's, Limerick (16); Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney (16); Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney (17); Roisin Dubh, Galway (21); McGarrigle's, Sligo (22); Spirit Store, Dundalk (23); and Auntie Annie's, Belfast (28).

After that the New York-based Dubliner is off to Barbados. Our hearts bleed!
