This week’s music news and gig guide

Villagers’ brand new single is released – A Trick of The Light. Always restless and inventive while always true to the power and glory of songwriting and melody, Conor O’Brien has made another great leap forward with Villagers’ fourth studio album, The Art Of Pretending To Swim, released by Domino on Friday, September 21.

The Coronas’ brand new single is Gut Feeling. One of Ireland’s best loved and hardest working bands, The Coronas, are set to release their latest single Gut Feeling, taken from their fifth album Trust The Wire.


Trust The Wire was released in June 2017 and went straight to number one in the Irish charts, heralding a new wave of success for the Irish four-piece. The record has already been certified gold and is on the way to a platinum disc – joining the previous four Coronas’ albums.

The band hit the road in support of the album last year, performing shows in Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the United States and even Dubai. A particular highlight was their sold out biggest ever headline show, with 15,000 people joining the party in Kilmainham, Dublin.

The Corona’s schedule continues to be hectic, with another tour of North America which will include larger venues than the previous two tours, along with several high-profile music festivals. Already announced are the band’s debut appearances at the eclectic Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago’s Grant Park on Sunday, August 5 as well as three nights at the annual Milwaukee Irish Fest, on August 17, 18 and 19. The major portion of the tour begins in Calgary, Alberta on September 25 and continues for more than a month of shows in cities all over the United States and Canada. The band then finish off the year with three gigs in Australia.
