Live Music in Dublin – 26-02-18
There’s a good mix of bands arriving on our shores this week. Nils Frahm is long since sold out, but there’s also Garth Knox and Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh who are playing as part of New Music Dublin, a mini festival which runs from March 1st to 4th! There’s also two bands that are almost the same in my mind, with Django Django and Everything Everything!
