St. Dominic's Disappearance

Acko releases his debut solo album, ten years in the making, this February 25 on the Felaheen label. The 54-year-old singer-songwriter is the former frontman with Dublin-based pop-punk quartet Grasshopper, who released a slew of singles on the Liquid label back in the mid-90s. A veteran of the Grafton Street busking mafia that also included members of the Frames, Kila, the Mary Janes and The Pale, Acko has also produced albums for Steven O’Brien (Decency Week) and co-wrote and produced two critically acclaimed albums with Peter Murphy (aka Cursed Murphy) as the Revelator Orchestra. Tallaght-born, he has boomeranged between Wexford and Dublin over the past half-century.
