It’s all about books this week. Two book launches and Dublin Anarchist Bookfair this weekend. If you feel a need for some muscial accompaniment then check out the latest Dando Session in Fibbers with Delinquents and Blackpitts. If you prefer to pay in to gigs and get home early then *1s are in the Grand Social on the Same night, or indeed relive the 80’s with Engine Alley in Workmans Club. You could go back a decade more for A Certain Ratio who are in the Sugar Club on Saturday. Saturday has a really interesting gig in the complex with MC kween MAI, Raven, Damola as playing as part of Dublin Fringe Festival. There’s a cool benefit in Whelans on Saturday night with a nice line up of solo artists including Mark Geary and Glen hansard giving up their night for Aidlink
