Jack Savoretti announces Belfast and Dublin shows

British-Italian songwriter Jack Savoretti has announced shows in Belfast's Ulster Hall on November 2 and in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on November 3.

It follows the announcement of his upcoming ninth album We Will Always Be The Way We Were, due out on April 10. It marks 20 years since his debut album Between the Minds, and was written and recorded with his long-time touring band at Eastcote Studios in West London.

“This is a full-circle album,” says Savoretti. “It’s going back to my roots, to the neighbourhood where I first started making music - with the same friends and musicians I met around Ladbroke Grove and Portobello Road. It’s the album I always wanted to make when I was starting out, but didn’t yet have the courage or experience to make. Now I do.”
