Indie rockers Leaders Of Men took to the stage for their own headline show at Whelans to cap a great year for the lads.

The highlight surely will have been playing Hopstore 13 on Arthurs Day which was the culmination of winning the Arthurs Day battle of the bands for the much coveted slot. They also supported Kill It Kid and made the final four of the Pick For The Picnic competition.

Quite the year, we sent the lovely Natalie Byrne along to snap some pics and give you an idea of what went on down in Whelans on December 7th 2011.
