This week i let my heart decide the gig of the week, as ive plumped for Fun Luvin Criminals who are playing The Academy on Sunday 4th April. Huey and the boys are a long time favourite of mine and are the kind of band you can go to and be guarunteed a bit of fun with your show.

The tickets are €30 and dont forget we are running a competition to send people along to it aswell (Click Here)

Running a close second is what on in Whelans TONIGHT!, Fred (that fun band you hear on the radio all the time) from Cork are up in the big smoke playing a nice intimate gig in as aforementioned Whelans. They are playing with Zoey Van Goey, could be a corker (no pun intended, honestly)

Other notable gig are The Courteeners hitting The Academy tonight aswell, Blue Syndrome are in Andrews Lane Wednesday, State have their third Social night with Patrick Kellegher and other guest DJ’s, The IMRO Show Case hits Crawdaddy on Thursday and I Draw Slow play The Academy on Sunday.
