I mentioned this in passing in the ‘Things to do...’ section, but I think it’s more than worthy of a blog in it’s own right (high praise indeed!). It features some of the best of Irish, a good antidote to the Rose nonsense taking place as we speak (possibly the worst of Irish).

Full details of the event is here, as well as some of the other events on around the city. Full line up of gigs at George’s dock (Beside the CHQ building) is below, but with Duke Special, Cathy Davey, Ash, The Frank and Walters, The Lost Brothers, Theraphy and Spook of the 13th lock (who backed up the amazing Josh T Pearson the other night!). Lets hope they get some decent weather for it!
