Because of Omicron and the restriction of events to pre-8pm and seated only for now, there are very few actual gigs happening this month in Ireland.
One that caught our eye is a celebration of the music of Daniel Johnson on Saturday January 22nd – Hi, How Are You Day 2022.
The gig will feature Jerry Fish, MayKay, Ailbhe Reddy, Anamoe Drive, Mundy and more and more performing songs from the Daniel Johnson catalogue.
Doors are at 5:30pm and runs til 7:30pm. Tickets are €20 plus fees from Whelan’s.
