Live Music in Dublin – 15-1-18
So, this week we lose the Bowie and First Fortnight Festival and what are they replaced with? Very little really. We do have a star studded birthday party for Shane MacGowan, with Nick Cave and Johnny Depp in town, but otherwise there’s not a lot going on. We’d recommend This is the Kit, and there is also the Ones to Watch Festival of new bands at Whelans.
TradFest is on the horizon (24th to 28th of January).
