I'm not sure if he counts as alt/indie but this is the closest place on here to his music. Anyway his new album is out in March and the man will be back to tour this spring around the country. Give a listen to the free song from the new album entitled "The Animal Years" over on Josh's site. You can also get some free live…

All downloads are approved by Josh.
For those who don't know him he sounds like

Make that three. Well, I'm not a huge fan, but I think he's pretty good. Will defo get the new album. Is it really two years since the last? :eek:
Wonder will he be doing any shows. Seen him in the olympia when Erin McKeown supported. Remembered her set better than his tbh but still enjoyed it.

Her set was pretty good, I seen them play in Donegal and his set was fantastic!
He has confirmed a couple of gigs in march the week the album comes out so I'm sure he'll be playing Dublin sometime around then.

I've been listening to the new album for the past couple of days now and I have to say its fantastic, probably his best to date. Lyrically its a huge step up for him.
Theres some really good stand out tracks. Namely Girl in the War, Thin Blue Flame and Here at the Right Time.

That's a cool smiley thing you got there. Anyhoo, I picked up my Christchurch tickets last Thursday. Sounds like they could be sold out soon if not already.

When I was in on friday at about 4 there was 30 tickets left.
We're in W.
Sounds like a class night.
Would have gotten the tickets sooner if I could have found the shop!

I didn't think Road Recs was that well hidden. Seems a few Josh fans had a hard time finding the shop. Anyhoo, it's soitainly the best independent record shop in Dublin.

are the Vicar st gigs seated or standing? it doesn't seem obvious from ticketmaster or from Josh's own site..........?

EDIT: also if anyone has one spare Christchurch ticket for a true Josh fan who couldn't make it into RoadRecs until Saturday when they were all gone......................:( will be posting in the "tickets wanted"section shortly anyway
