Chart topper Gray returns to Ireland

David Gray returns to Ireland for five sold out shows next week, kicking off at the Odyssey in Belfast on Monday.

Gray's new album 'A New Day at Midnight' went straight to number one on the Irish charts last week as his 'White Ladder' album re-entered the Irish top five at number four.

'A New Day At Midnight' also went straight to number one in the UK on its release.

'White Ladder' is Ireland's biggest selling album ever.

Scottish singer James Yorkston is special guest on Gray's sell-out dates: two Belfast shows on 11 and 12 November and three shows at the Point Depot in Dublin on 14, 15 and 16 November.

Gray will release 'The Other Side', the first single from his new album, on 6 December.
