MusicTown 2017 runs until the 17 Apr with lots of unusual events. There’s also the Japanese Film Festival at the Lighthouse Cinema until the 13th.
There’s lots of good music on with Musictown, but if I had to pick a few, it would be PWR BTTM, Weyes Blood, Ryley Walker. There’s new theatre with The Train in the Abbey and The Game in the Project.
The IMMA Collection Freud Project is a must see! National Gallery of Ireland has the ‘Beyond Caravaggio‘ until 14th May. Book now or feel awful silly!

My tip of the week is PWR BTTM in the Workman’s Club, but there’s also Ryley Walker in Whelan’s, so now I’m conflicted! Maybe just go to see them both. There’s also lots of odd ball stuff on with Musictown, so check that out also…
