Songwriter David Gray has announced a special Irish tour, focussing on small venues, in part to return to his roots [Gray first found an audience in Ireland, before his massive hit album White Ladder] and in part to try out new material from his next album.

While the tour has been announced – in a twist – the venues haven’t been. Gray, in a message to fans has explained that the venues have yet to be decided. Fans are encouraged to go to www.DavidGray.ie and register, expressing a preference as to where they want to see Gray play. Based on the fans feedback shows will be arranged.

Talking about the shows Gray said ‘ I’m looking for some space to develop this new sound and try out new ideas, and find myself a little bit.There’s a new me waiting to meet me, somewhere out there”.
