Friday 25th – Carol Keogh and The City Fathers – Anseo upstairs (8pm)
Friday 25th Midnight Voyagers Launching Night is happening at Lost Society Lounge, St. Williams Street.
The night will chart the changing scenes of electronic dance music of the last 30 years, from Detroit breakbeat to Berlin Techno, etc. Sounds fun and different (which is nice). I hope/assume they have dancers that can emulate every style, what?
