This Weeks Gigs – May 7 -13
Another busy week with the highlight for me being Liberty Hall on Tuesday as a group of punks old and new talk about music as a vehicle for change. We spent a fair bit of time putting this bill together,all under the we shall overcome banner in conjunction with Mayfest. Punk this week comes courtesy of Autonomads on Friday and Discharge on Saturday. Should all that noise prove too muvh then how about the wonderful alternative folk sounds of Anna and Elizabeth, playing twice this week or the big Yuss for repeal night in the grand Social on Wednesday. If you’re still with it on Sunday then Trouble pilgrims are playing with Dave Finegan and Killer Pussies in Drop Dead Twice. Dave’s exploits were legendary as singer of Dublin psychobilly band Shark Bait.
