Berlin based but Dublin born, singer/songwriter A.S Fanning has announced two gigs in Ireland. He will be playing Whelan's in Dublin on October 13 and the Roisin Dubh in Galway on October 12.

The gig in Dublin will coincide with the release of Fanning's debut solo album Second Life . Previously Fanning had been Frontman and chief songwriter of Dublin bands Porn Trauma and The Last Tycoons.

Since then he has been touring in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland - with the Irish Times noting Fanning’s ‘observational eye about the local and global which made for the stuff of some meaty songs like ‘Carmelita’’.
