David Gray has always been a firm favourite with Irish audiences. Sure, it's us he owes all his success to, when you think about it.

It's been a while since Gray last played a gig of his own here, but he's just announced a number of Irish dates throughout July, as well as two nights at Dublin's National Concert Hall.

He'll play a 'solo acoustic evening' of his music at the NCH on September 4th and 5th - his first time playing the venue, and also his first time playing a solo gig in Dublin since 1995. Tickets are €59, €49, €39 (Choir Balcony) and on sale from nch.ie on July 6th at 10am.

He'll also play the dates/venues below, which are currently sold out:

July 20th & 21st: Soma Festival at Down Cathedral, Downpatrick
July 22nd: St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny
July 23rd: National Opera House, Wexford
July 24th: Cork Opera House
