Agus Eoin Glacken ag seinm ins An Siopa Leabhar at 8.30 – 9.30pm, Seisiún sa Siopa are running a live music session with Eoin Glackin at 6 Harcourt Street too!
As inspired by your good self. Not loads happening on the alternative music front but Ten Past Seven’s official Black Box launch will be incredible (they just always are) and the Half Moon have cooked up a good night too that should turn into a late one.
