Kathleen Edwards announces Irish dates

Having impressed all and sundry on Josh Ritter's last Irish tour, Kathleen Edwards returns for her own headline shows in An Cruicin Lan, Cork (April 10); Roisin Dubh, Galway (11); and Whelan's, Dublin (12).

Prior to that comes the release of Back To Me, the Canadian's Rolling Stone-endorsed second album which has been picked up here by Independent.

Support on her mini-tour is provided by former Prayer Boat singer Emmett Tinley who has his own solo album, Attic Faith, juiced up and ready to go on April 15.
