What exactly is a fur show, I hear you cry? Well, it’s nothing to do with furries, so if that’s what you came from, you’re in the wrong place! What it is, is a night of good wholesome music, and a even a film screening to boot. Not half bad.
Tickets are €10 and are available here.
Dolittle are delighted to present The Late David Turpin’s Fur Show featuring solo performances from No Monster Club, Gavin Glass and Margie Jean Lewis, a full band set from Carriages and a short film screening before the live performances.
