The John Butler Trio follow in the illustrious footsteps of The 4 of Us as being a band with a number in their title which does not accurately reflect the number of members in the band.

You know what the Spice Girls used to say when three become five…eh well that’s the case for the John Butler Trio + who have expanded their ranks to five and chosen to depict it like a 1990’s computer language. The + will deliver extra percussion and keys to JBT’s live shows.

You can experience the + in Vicar Street on October 13th. Tickets priced €33.50 go on sale Friday 11 May at 9am through www.ticketmaster.ie & usual outlets nationwide.
