Rounding of my busy gig schedule was the legend that is Christy Moore. At the start of the week it was announced that he was doing an open air gig in Belfast next summer with tickets going on sale on Friday (which sold out in half an hour). Also this week Bryan Adams announced some new shows for the UK and Ireland including Belfast. And Rick Astley's album arrived in the post on Thursday so managed a couple of listens before the weekend.

Some other albums getting a play for the first time in ages along with 2 new releases from Busted and Ash. On the tracks chart To Whom It Concerns gets a large climb as the Late Late Show returned on RTE TV with new host Patrick Kielty.

As well as the Top 40 they usually play around half a dozen "future hits" during the show. Many weeks they'll mention local artists but I don't think that one has even been mentioned yet.

OK maybe I'm being a bit dumb but the 2 versions of the Busted album seem to be counted together even though there aren't any tracks which appear on both versions. The standard one is all rerecordings of the hits and the "Guest Features Edition" is all recordings of mainly the same songs but with guest artists. Surely it should be counted as a separate album?

Sharon Shannon & Mundy returned to the tracks chart last week after the release of a remix of Galway Girl and following on from that I started playing her self titled debut album along with a more recent offering Collaborations and a couple of tracks from that make the chart as well. I'm heading over to see Nik Kershaw shortly on his UK tour (which sadly doesn't include Belfast) and his first 2 albums have charted as a result. The first 2 albums by The Corrs are also doing well getting played for the first time in a while following the news that Forgiven Not Forgotten is on the release list for this year's National Album Day. Sonia is the beneficiary of getting suggested on Spotify and I discovered that Bad Manners are back out on tour shortly and I'm finally going to get a chance to see them live.

Busted set arrived this morning! Looking through the programme it advertises the CDs at £5 each there so it looks like it's not just a special price up to the end of the first week. They also appear to be doing a number of signings at the concert venues mainly in the first week. They will be at the main entrance at 1pm and its open to everyone so you can go along even if you don't have a ticket for the show.

Gave a spin to some albums by other artists that I have booked tickets for recently - Deacon Blue are in Belfast next week and Elio Pace is bringing his Billy Joel Songbook show back next year. And Neville Staple of The Specials is supporting The Undertones at the end of November. Bryan Adams has a new single out and after checking it out I gave an overdue play to his most recent album too. On the tracks chart there are a couple of Elvis tracks following another concert I was at starring Elvis tribute act Ciaran Houlihan. Simple Minds make it in with Mandela Day (yes that's another concert ticket purchase) and Mark McCabe returns after I spotted the song while going through my ITunes account.

Again on the album front it's been mainly the Saw Doctors taking the odd break to listen to Lewis Capaldi and a bit of SLF. There's an unseasonal new entry on the tracks chart at 30 following the discovery this week that the Irish Christmas number 1 from 1990 has finally made it onto the various digital platforms. The song was only ever available on cassette until the end of last year - there was a new version released for the 30th anniversary in 2020 but that was a limited download available from the website of the charity they were raising money for. A couple more tracks entering this week as they are in my head from listening to the Northern Ireland chart show on Sunday.
