David Kitt is an Irish musician/producer with a long career of critically acclaimed albums and projects.

He grew up surrounded by music, as his father and uncles formed a successful touring folk group when he was young. He began performing live sets while studying at Trinity College Dublin, where he completed a postgraduate course in music technology. He then recorded and mixed the eight tracks of his debut release, Small Moments, in his bedroom, releasing it in August 2000. This album was followed up less than a year later with The Big Romance, in May 2001 which achieved double platinum sales in Ireland and included hits such as Song from Hope St. [Brooklyn NY] and You Know What I Want To Know. Following this, Kitt’s 2003 third album, Square 1, went straight to number one in Ireland and remained in that position for three weeks. In the nine years since his last album, The Nightsaver, David Kitt has thrown himself into house and techno music under his New Jackson moniker. But on latest offering Yous, the crunch of techno quietens down to a whisper and Kitt reinvokes his ambient folky introspective brilliance.

Support is from New Pope.
