Australia's acoustic powerhouse Rory Faithfield is coming home to launch his fourth album - Songs for Sooner. Much of Songs for Sooner was written in Australia, then recorded with a full band in Ireland featuring Nick Scott (Van Morrison) on bass and Johnny Boyle (The Frames) on drums. Originally inspired by artists such as Christy Moore and Luka Bloom, Rory has been applauded by the often unforgiving Irish music media.
