The fifth edition of the weekender where band sell their merch in Dublin is back.
Merchy Christmas takes place at The Grand Social, Dublin from 11am- 7pm, Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th December 2024.
The lockdown brainchild of Conor Cusack (Saint Sister’s manager) and Saint Sister was conceived as a way for artists to make money from their art through t-shirt, vinyl, scarves and whatever they have to sell, working with Keiron Black and the folks at The Grand Social.
