Keeping it short and sweet this week, Gig Of The Week in our humble opinion is Phantom’s First Friday in its new venue The Academy. Why is it gig of the week? Firstly, Two of Dublins best bands are playing, The Chapters and Noise Control, and Secondly, Free in Before 10pm. Safe the say the recession has influenced this one.
