• Album review: David Gray’s Dear Life reaffirms his knack at getting to the heart of human emotion | independent
David Gray and Ireland: a mutual love affair. Not only is the Wales-raised Mancunian’s White Ladder the bestselling album in Irish chart history, but his last one, Skellig, was named after our most hallowed offshore island. He tours here with startling regularity and there aren’t many tickets remaining for his Past & Present shows in Dublin, Limerick, Killarney and Belfast. The first date, in the 3Arena, on April 5 is sold out.
