If you want blood...

Tom McCrea underlines his 'next big thing' credentials when he descends on The Limelight, Belfast (March 10) and The Village, Dublin (11). Prior to that he's nipping in on February 21 for a Late Late Show appearance.
Pride of place will doubtless go to Just Like Blood, his new album which was afforded 7.5 out of 10 in the last issue of Hot Press. An Eels-meets-Mercury Rev sort of affair, it's getting particularly rave reviews in Europe.
