DUBLINER DAVID HOPKINS RELEASES HIS FIRST SOLO SINGLE IN IRELAND ON MAY 20TH. THE TITLE TRACK AMBER & GREEN, AND FURTHER TWO SONGS, SUZANNE AND PARANOIA, WERE RECORDED IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE DAVID MADE HIS HOME FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AFTER LEAVING LIR. DAVID WAS KEYBOARD PLAYER, FOUNDER MEMBER, AND MAIN SONGWRITER WITH DUBLIN PROG-ROCKERS LIR IN THE '90S, A BAND NOTED FOR THEIR GREAT LIVE SHOWS, AND WHO WERE HOTLY TIPPED FOR INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS. HOWEVER, WHILE TOURING WITH LIR IN THE STATES, DAVID DECIDED TO STAY BEHIND WHEN THE BAND HEADED HOME, AND SETTLED IN SAN FRANCISCO. HE CONTINUED TO DO SESSION WORK AS A KEYBOARD PLAYER WITH A NUMBER OF BANDS, AND DID SEVERAL NATIONWIDE GIGS, INCLUDING OPENING FOR THE WHO ON THEIR QUADROPHENIA TOUR. BUT DISILLUSIONED WITH SESSION WORK IN THE LATE 'NINETIES DAVID TURNED HIS BACK ON MUSIC FOR A WHILE, ONLY EMERGING TO DO HIS OWN MUSIC IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WHILE PLAYING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA DAVID WAS SPOTTED BY THE TEAM BEHIND THE KILLERS WHO WERE QUICK TO RECOGNISE HIS TALENT, AND PROMPTLY SIGNED HIM TO A MANAGEMENT DEAL. NOW DAVID'S MUSIC IS AVAILABLE IN IRELAND WITH THE RELEASE ON REEKUS IN MAY OF THE SINGLE AMBER AND GREEN, FOLLOWED BY AN ALBUM ON AUGUST 19TH.
