No local gig for David Gray

David Gray will not be performing in Co Louth as part of his mini Irish tour next month.

The British singer announced earlier this month that he was taking a break from the studio to play at small venues around Ireland.

That immediately opened up the possibility of a show in either the TLT in Drogheda or The Spirit Store in Dundalk.

Fans were asked to vote for where they would like to see him play but unfortunately the Wee County has missed out on an opportunity to bring the British singer to the area.

The nearest gig will be in Bangor Abbey in Co Down on Tuesday December 3rd, where David will be performing old and new material with a very special band including Caroline Dale, David Kitt, Niamh Farrell, Robbie Malone and Lisa O’Neill, who will provide the support on the night.

David will also be performing in Letterkenny, Cork, Dingle, Kilkenny, Nenagh, Wexford, Ennis and Salthill in Galway with full details available on www.davidgray.ie

Vote for David Gray to perform in Louth

Would you like to see David Gray play in this area next month? Well, that dream could come true if you get behind a campaign to bring the singer/songwriter to Co Louth.

The Cheshire-based singer, whose hits include This Year’s Love, Babylon, Please Forgive Me, Sail Away and The One I Love, has decided to take a break from the studio to embark on an Irish tour in December.

He has decided to play “smaller sized venues” and has asked fans to influence where he plays by registering on his site and voting for their county of choice.

Tickets for the gigs cost €34 each and you can register into a lottery for them. If he decides to play in this area and you get a ticket, you will have 48 hours to buy them before they are re-allocated.

While no venues in each county have been decided upon, it is likely that Gray would play either The Spirit Store in Dundalk or the TLT in Drogheda if he came here.

Speaking on his site, Gray said: “It’s been far too long since I’ve been to Ireland and at this point in my musical evolution it feels absolutely appropriate that I go back to what has always been the heartland for me.”
