Sinead O’Connor American Tour 2007
Did you know Sinéad O’Connor rates Damien Dempsey higher than Luke Kelly (and by default therefore, Liam Clancy)?
Anyway, her own brand new double album Theology is going down a treat with everyone.
One half recorded in Dublin, and the other disc in London. The Dublin disc is the pared down acoustic kind of stuff, and the London disc is with a full band. It includes 8 new compositions. The HotPress gave it 9/10 - for a double CD!
And lucky you, for she’s taking it around the world - give or take Kansas City. Here are the brand new official revised dates for Sinéad’s 2007 tour of the US (and Toronto):

Note that back in September when Sinéad tours the Midwest she manages to go - as so many do - from Denver straight to Chicago despite KC being in between. However you will also note that the Denver gig is on Sep 21, and the next gig in Chicago in on Sep 23 - hmmm. The 22nd - any chance of an acoustic gig in KC, Shinners?

Hi Eolai!
Just wanted to let you know that there is no Las Vegas here in the Cornhusker State! You have the state abbreviation for Nevada being NE, which is Nebraska’s abbreviation. Nevada’s is actually NV. I suppose there is a joke here somewhere but I’ll be damned if I can find it.

Hmm, and on the very day I tease the great Johnny Marr for the same thing - though at least he has the excuse of living on another continent.
Have fixed it now, thank you sir very much - and I thought I was watching those - Sinéad’s Official MySpace actually has Minneapolis in Maine and spelled out, not the two-letter abbreviation!
Must have tickets! I’ll have to find someone to go with me as Mr. M would never consent.
She did a lovely cover of “I don’t know how to love him” on The Late Late Show back in May.
