The Damned plot Irish dates

Captain Sensible and Dave Vanian will both be on board when The Damned play the Button Factory, Dublin (November 28) and Empire Music Hall, Belfast (29).

The same week finds the chaps, who still crank out a mean ‘New Rose’, ‘Neat Neat Neat’ and ‘Problem Child’, releasing their first new studio album since 2001’s Grave Disorder.
