Mundy has announced a new date at Vicar Street on Friday 23rd December. Tickets at www.ticketmaster.ie.


November 30 2005
Mundy
Raining Down Arrows
(Camcor)

"With a new live album and DVD in the can, it’s effectively a case of job done for the Raining Down Arrows album and so the release of the title track is probably little more than an attempt to remind people that it’s out there as they head out to the shops. It’s still a nice little track though, given some sort of remix, and further proof that Mundy deserves to be up there with the other great career turnarounds."

"24 Star Hotel" was voted No.25 in Hot Press People's Choice Top 100 Irish albums of all-time.

Jenny Leonard, hotpress.com:

"24 Star Hotel is an absolutely amazing album. I especially love it for the song ‘Healthy’, which touches me every time I hear it. The album expertly mixes quiet, soft songs, like this one, with fantastic uptempo tunes like ‘Mexico’ and ‘July’, which repeatedly give me the urge to get up on my feet and clap my hands! It is this fantastic mix of emotions that has established 24 Star Hotel as my No.1 Irish album."

February 2005
