Former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes has announced a couple of Irish dates this May.

Coombes has just released his rather excellent second solo album 'Matador' and will tour it this summer, with Irish dates on his schedule including Dolan's, Limerick on May 8th and Belfast's Black Box on May 9th.

Tickets for the Limerick gig are €22 including booking fee and on sale today at 1pm from usual outlets.

No word on a Dublin date as yet, but we'll keep you posted.
