This week I had no choice, there was numerous great shows this week but only one was ever going to get my gig of the week nod.
I’ve managed to miss him live three times now and I am not about to let it become a 4th gig straight, god only knows how long we will have him out touring as throat problems don’t just disappear. So I’m delighted to give Meatloaf the nod of approval for his show on Saturday 18th of December in The O2. Tickets are still available from Ticketmaster.ie so if your like me and absolutely love his back catelogue then tick this checkbox off the must see list this week.
Other gigs this week included Shakira at The O2, Delorentos in The Workmans Club on Thursday and Friday, Imelda May plays The Olympia Theatre, catch her Thursday, Friday or Saturday, Fight Like Apes play Spring and Airbrake in Belfast on Saturday.
Villagers play The Black Box on Saturday and then The Limelight on Sunday, Meatloaf throws in a second Irish performance on Sunday in The Odyssey Arena, Belfast. Mark Greaney of JJ72 plays The Workmans Club on Monday and finally You Me At Six play The Olympia Theatre on Sunday
That’s our week this week. Hope you find something good to entertain you (and that the forecast snow doesn’t stop you catching a great show)
