In Photos: Gruff Rhys + H.Hawkline @ The Sugar Club, Dublin (15.11.10)

Returning to Dublin's Sugar Club well in advance of the release of his new solo album - the February 14th-due Hotel Shampoo - Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys was his usual charming, endearing and deadpan self last night. After a slow enough start, Gruff certainly got going with a brilliant rendition of 2007's 'Cycle Of Violence', a smashing second bash at new single 'Shard Ridden Waters' and a couple of cracking Welsh-sung numbers from solo debut Yr Atal Genhedlaeth (you'll forgive us for not recalling exactly which ones). Support on the night came from fellow self-deprecating Welshman H.Hawkline - who, despite this being just his third ever show, joined Gruff onstage for a closing duet.

Chief Ragged Words snapper Mark Earley was among the packed crowd; to look through a slideshow of his shots, just click on any of the photos below.
