Orange ya glad they're back?

Those most scallydelic of popsters, The Coral, B&I their way over for shows at the Ambassador, Dublin (February 2) and the Limelight, Belfast (3).

Given that their last Ambassador appearance was as fourth on the bill to Andrew WK, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and lostprophets, the Liverpudlians have come an awfully long way in 12 months.

Having gone top 10 with their eponymous album, the band are currently working on the follow-up with Lightning Seeds man Ian Broudie.
