Whelan’s Main Venue • Fri 3rd November 2023
Celebrating 21 Years of his Multi-Platinum Selling Album ‘24 Star Hotel’ this year at Whelan’s in Dublin on Friday 3rd of November. Mundy accompanied by his full band.
This album was Recorded at Sarm West and Livingston Studios in London and Windmill Lane in Dublin. It was Produced by Tommy D (Catatonia, Finley Quaye, K.T Tunstall) and 3 Tracks by Andrew Philpot (Interference, Depeche Mode, The Frames).
Fun Fact!! This album was recorded at the same time, in the same building (Sarm West) as Madonna’s Album ‘Music’ and she even received a rough mix of the album that she seemingly liked!
This album was released 3 years after it was recorded due to Sony/Epic Records deciding not to release a lot of newly recorded albums on its roster and, eventually Mundy legally won back the record as part of being let go from the label.
In 2001, after an hour slot at the Witness Festival, the song July paved the way for this album and its great collection of songs, to be released independently on Mundy’s newly invented Record Label ‘Camcor Recording’.
After an initial pressing of 3,000 copies, it eventually went ‘Multi-Platinum Status’ and Mundy had to keep pressing new batches of the album.
He was awarded ‘Best Irish Male’ Artist at the Meteor Awards. Other nominees included Bono and Van Morrison!!
Songs like ‘Mexico’, ‘July’ and ‘Anchor the Sun’ are all considered great songs, but the quieter, sweet little gems like ‘Linchpin’ and ‘Healthy’ are the real fan faves.
‘July’ was the first song in Ireland to be charted on downloads alone. The beginning of a new era and it’s rotated regularly on Irish Radio during the summer.
He sang this song on T.V with Imelda May.
The great Irish Crooner and Entertainer Joe Dolan recorded the song ‘Mexico’, which Mundy performed on National T.V with Joe Dolan and Paul Brady.
Mexico also appeared in the movie ‘Man about Dog’ and the series ‘Pure Mule’.
‘The Last Time’ was featured in the movie ‘Ripley’s Game’ starring John Malcovich and Ray Winstone.
And for the first time ever, ‘24 Star Hotel’ will be available. Remastered, refurbished limited edition Red Vinyl plus 3 previously unreleased recordings via Digital Link.
