Canadian crooner to make Irish debut

Canadian vocalist Michael Bublé has confirmed that his debut Irish concert will take place at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 17 May.

The 25-year-old crooner released his self-titled debut album last year, covering standards like 'Come Fly with Me' and 'The Way You Look Tonight' alongside Van Morrison's 'Moondance' and Queen's 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'.

As a teenager, Bublé won the Canadian Youth Talent Search and released several independent albums before meeting Grammy-winning producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Chicago and Whitney Houston) and signing his first major recording contract with Reprise Records.

Tickets priced ¤39 are on sale now from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.
