Morrissey paid a very public visit to Dublin last week.

First of all, he was spotted at The Sugar Club checking out the double-header featuring Pugwash and The Pony Club.

Next up was The George where he took in their Wednesday night Space Invaders beano. Mozza looked suitably chuffed when resident drag queen Veda Bon Reve serenaded him with a version of 'Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me'.

While Morrissey remained in his chair, fashion designer and ex-Dove man Graham Cruz joined Ms. Reve in a Chicago-style dance routine that brought the house down.

Following a two-year sabbatical, Stephen Patrick is readying an album for Sanctuary Records, and kicking off a 15-date American tour in Salt Lake City on August 1.
