Coast to Coast: Tea and Toast at Whelans | Gig of the Week

We’re not ones to blow our own trumpets here at Goldenplec but this week we are bringing you something a little bit different and very special, so much so that we think it merits Gig of the Week. If you haven’t heard of Coast to Coast: Tea and Toast, where have you been?? It is our cross-country dash where we’ll meet a band for a one song gig and some tea and toast in as many towns as we can over two days with a cracker of a finale gig in Whelans on Saturday 30th. All the while raising money for Down Syndrome Ireland. Tickets for the finale are only a tenner and you’ll be spoiled with sets from Raglans, Shadowplay, Elaine Mai and The Dirty 9’s.

By booking tickets to the gig you’ll not only be showing off what a good Samaritan you are, you’ll automatically be entered in to a raffle for a swanky Nokia Lumia 920. So what are you waiting for get booking your tickets from Ticketfriend.com and Whelanslive.
