Well we hope you all enjoyed your Paddy’s Day celebrations. There was so much happening and Team GP got to most of it of course so we’re feeling a little bit jaded today (not hungover, at all). Luckily that doesn’t stop our busy team, so here’s a look at what’s happening this week.
Gig of the Week goes to quirky singer songwriter Patrick Wolf. He’ll be in The Sugar Club on Saturday night. Mr Wolf released double LP ‘Sundark And Riverlight’ in September to celebrate his tenth year in music. Tickets are still available and are €18.
Tonight the wonderful Avett Brothers are in The Button Factory. That one is sold out. Villagers kick off their sould out whistle stop tour of Ireland tonight down in the INEC in Kerry. They’ll be in The Savoy in Cork on Tuesday. Rounding it all off with two nights in The Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Thursday and Friday.
Folktronica champion Ms Beth Orton is in The Olympia Theatre on Wednesday and Roisin Dubh in Galway on Thursday. Tickets are still available and are €23.
Rochdale indie rockers The Courteeners are back with their latest release Anna. They’ll be in the Academy on Thursday and slipping up to The Limelight in Belfast on Friday night. Support comes from Raglans and Neon Wolf. Tickets are still available and start from €20. Meanwhile Dirty Epics will be launching their second album One Way Mirror in The Workmans Club. Tickets for that one are still available and are €10.
Dublin band BATS bring their progressive post punk rock to Cyprus Avenue in Cork on Friday. Tickets are still available and are €9.30.
Gavin James’ year has gotten off to a fabulous start. Having recently won Meteor Choice Prize Song of the Year for Say Hello, he has also sold out Whelans twice. The second one of those is Friday night. Those with tickets are definitely in for a treat. He’ll also be down in Cyprus Avenue in Cork on Saturday.
Jack Lukeman is down in The Bord Gais Energy Theatre on Saturday night. Tickets are still available and range from €32.00 – €35.00.
