For their inaugural bash they’ve got an mazing line up which features Saccade, Champagne Animal, DC Experiment and Mysterious Chords! Gonna be great. Get down there at 8pm – entry is just 5/8 Euro.

The wonderful Peter Doran will be treating shoppers in Oxfambooks (Parliament St, Dublin 2) to an intimate and cosy gig this Saturday 14th, January. Kicking off at 3 o’clock and free!

Luke Slott performed an amazing set at the Rubysessions on Tuesday. It included the debut performance of a song written for Human Rights Day.

Luke, “Members of the Bahá’í Faith in Iran are being systematically denied one of the most basic human rights – the right to education. By denying young people the right to higher education simply because of their beliefs, the Iranian government is attempting to stifle the lives of an entire generation of its own people. Several Nobel Peace Prize laureates, including Bishop Desmond Tutu and José Ramos, President of East Timor, have launched the ‘Education Under Fire‘ campaign to bring greater global awareness to this issue (www.educationunderfire.com).”
