So the news has just hit our (figurative) desk that this Sunday’s performance of The Gospel According to Matthew J. Anthony in Smock Alley is the last of its kind! Rumour has it that the […]
Doctor Who…or Matthew J. Anthony?

Chris Dave – Sugar Club – 9th May

Gig Guide – 01/05/2013 – Low @ Whelans, The 1975, ASAP Rocky etc.
So many new gigs announced this week, I simply don’t know where to start…. ah, ok, there isn’t that many, but the main one that tickles my fancy is that Low are […]
Gig Guide – What next for the Killers? 24-04-2013
Mr Reynolds has alleged the band The Killers was imposed against his wishes as a joint headline act for the 2012 event because the majority shareholders in the festival company, the FRD […]
Gig Guide – 17-04-13 – Spiritualized in NCH, Yo La Tengo, Bryan Ferry etc.

Gig Guide – 19-12-12
Yes, that’s right, the return of the most erratic and opinionated gig guide in cyber space! The best news today is that Kendrick Lamar is coming to Vicar Street in January! Not […]
Gig Guide – 14-11-2012
Another month passes, and the real struggle is to remember to write 2013 after all those dates! That will take a while to get used to. There’s a few nice additions to […]
The xx – Olympia Theatre
The xx have announced two shows in Dublin’s Olympia theatre on the 7th and 8th of December (Friday and Saturday), with tickets going on sale on Monday at 9. I must admit […]
Gig Guide – 16-10-12
I’ve been a bit lazy with the gig guide of late, so apologies for the lull. Too many plays I guess… So, after the Beck Vier Weekender this weekend, which includes the […]
Conor Oberst – National Concert Hall – 2-05-13
It does seem a long way away, but Conor will be in town next May! A nice venue also, it’s part of a special solo tour according to his web site. He […]

Gig Guide – 28-03-12
Wow, this is pretty bleak. You’d have to say that there’s a lot less gigs on, or maybe just a lot less of the ones I’d be interested in. Who knows. Something […]
Gig Guide – 16-02-12
I think this gets later every month! I must set a date and then just do it every month. Would make sense. New additions worth a mention include… Aidan Moffat and Bill […]
