Thanks to GPromo PR for the news that the respected veteran California-based folk-Americana singer/ songwriter Rick Shea, described by Sing Out! magazine as 'a hauntingly nostalgic vocalist, imperative guitarist, and literate, detail-rich songwriter', will also be here next month on the first leg of a tour of these islands, playing two of the same dates as Jim Hurst. The title song of his latest album, The town where I live, can be heard on YouTube. Rick Shea's schedule is:

Sat 18th: PJ's, Castlecoote, Co. Roscommon
Mon 20th: Merry’s, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford (double bill with Jim Hurst)
Tues. 21st: Clonmel Folk Club, The Coachman, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary (double bill with Jim Hurst)
