Confirmed just over an hour ago Ben Earle from The Shires was proud to announce the birth of his second son Tennessee! He revealed to the world that things went pretty quickly during labour and that both mother and child are doing well.
As a special treat to fans, Belfast City Council have refunded all ticket purchases to customers and have decided to run this concert as a free event. Anyone who is in possession of tickets, these will still be required to gain entry and anyone still wanting to obtain tickets, please see below.
Main acts are what draws the crowd to any event, from stadium and arena tours, to the smaller intimate gigs. One thing that they all have in common is that these event use support acts, or openers, Acts that fill the time and warm up the crowd until the big guys are due on! Sometimes all you want is to get past the support to the main item, but sometimes, the support act can really surprise you, leaving you wanting more…and I think Kendell Marvell will do just this when he appears prior to the Brothers Osborne, opening their gigs during their UK and Ireland tour.
This Friday (April 27th) marks the release of Keith Urban’s GRAFFITI U, his first new studio album in nearly two years. The much-anticipated follow up to 2016’s record-breaking, No. 1, platinum album RIPCORD, GRAFFITI U is a natural musical progression that began with FUSE, but it also marks where Urban currently resides creatively. It’s this sense of presence during his writing and recording process that gives each of Urban’s albums an unabashed honesty and authenticity.
On Podcast 46 we talk to Kristian Bush ahead of his Belfast gig this weekend, we also hear from the Brothers Osborne on how they went about recording their new album ‘Port Saint Joe’ and Keith Urban tells us about the name behind his new album ‘Graffiti U’ out this Friday 27th April.
Last week we have the wonderful privilege of catching up with Kristian Bush ahead of this Sunday’s gig in the Ulster Hall, Belfast.
