The awesome Antony & The Johnsons return to Ireland in 2009. They play Dublin’s Vicar Street on May 31 (Antony and co’s Vicar Street show in 2005 featured very prominently in the list of memorable shows in that venue over the last 10 years according to On The Record readers) and Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on June 1. The new album “The Crying Light” is out on January 16 and, believe me, it’s a humdinger. Tickets go on sale on Friday (€40.20 for Dublin and £22.50/£25/£27.50 for Belfast). Video for “Another World” follows
