Gig of the Week this week is kind of a split one, We have one quality up and coming band we like playing Phantom First Friday offering free gigs in Galway, Belfast and Cork and another good cause gig being the Barrestown Inspiration event with David Gray and a host of Irish Talent.
Phantom First Friday this month see’s Inner City Pirates , The Red Labels and Zealots and Olly Cole playing at the Academy, Dublin and the gig being a Phantom First Friday will be FREE in before 10pm and €5 after 10pm. Should be a cracking gig.
On the other side of the Liffey we have the Barretstown Inspirational event which will be streamed live on www.muzu.tv/inspirationslive and will host a concoction of amazing acts including David Gray, Paddy Casey, Mundy, Jape, Duckworth Lewis Method, Villagers, Lir, Gemma Hayes. highlights of the night will include David Gray singing Springsteen, Paddy Casey doing Prince and Duckworth Lewis Method singing ELO.
