And So I Watch You Live In Tower Records

TOWER LIVE IS BACK

2009 was a truly phenomenal year for TOWER RECORDS' legendary in-store appearances. More than 100 amazing acts from all over the world (as far afield as CANADA, AUSTRALIA, and even JAPAN), not to mention major homegrown talent, strutted their stuff on the Dublin Wicklow Street boards.

Unforgettable performances were delivered by MUMFORD & SONS, DIRECTOR and WOODPIGEON, to name just a few.

Who could forget the day the legend STEVE VAN ZANT broadcast his highly acclaimed show from the store (word has it he wants to come back??? Watch this space!)

We also played host to 7 out of the 10 acts that were nominated for this year's Choice Music awards, including hot favorites DUCKWORTH LEWIS METHOD, VALERIE FRANCIS, and, our first guests of the new season, AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR. Anyone who witnessed their last in-store will testify to an astonishing performance. It's safe to say that this upcoming gig is not one to be missed under any circumstances. You are advised to get here early as space is limited.

We also welcome back the mighty POWER OF DREAMS. The guys will be in to celebrate the 20th anniversary re-release of their brillant debut album IMMIGRANTS EMIGRANTS AND ME. Again this is one in-store to be missed at your peril.

Other highlights include up and coming acts, AT LAST AN ATLAS, DIRTY9'S and former TURN frontman OLIVER COLE.
