Yes, we’re back to separate the wheat from the chaff for you. It’s the world famous (ahem) Good Gig Guide, with some amazing treats in store over the next few months in Dublin. Did you know that the chaff is the husks of corn or other seed separated by winnowing or threshing. Well, you do now! Check out what you can find below…

A couple of nice ones added with Augustines, Thundercat, Steve Gunn, Mutual Benefit and a few others besides…
