Simple Kid Ireland-bound in November

Recent Hot Press cover-mounter Simple Kid plays back-to-back shows at Auntie Annie's, Belfast (November 17) and Whelan's, Dublin (18).

Better known to the taxman as Kieran McFeely – is it us or does he sound like a Podge & Rodge character? – he'll be plugging his thoroughly fab SK1 album. Which spawns another single this week in the shape of 'Supertramps & Superstars'.
