I think I’ve been trying to see Pere Ubu play live ever since I was about 16 (sadly neither today or yesterday), this Thursday is a chance to put that one right. The wonderful Ane Brun is also in Vicar Street next Saturday. There’s also a few new plays worth a mention and a chance for the Agathe Christie fans to see ‘Go Back for Murder‘ and also ‘Brendan at the Chelsea‘ in the Project. The Dublin Book Festival runs this week, with a number of readings and talks around the city.
