Some good gigs this week with Keith Jarrett, In Dreams – David Lynch Revisisted, Paul Weller, Ducktails, Mercury Rev and Titus Andronicus. There’s also the Strut festival at the Peacock.
There’s also a couple of new festivals in Dublin this week, with the Burlesque festival from the 19th to the 22nd. I love their sexy white lady above! There’s also the VFX Summit from the 20th to the 22nd.
