This week sees Gilla Band continuing the Whelans shows with 2 nights. Big punk rock news was going to be Don alerts but it has now been cancelled. It was to coincide with the release of the Dubtones album on Friday night. You may have been lucky enough to get a ticket for Pillow Queens who have 2 sold out shows in the Button Factory. The week concludes in a lovely manner with Eileen Gogan doing an afternoon show in the Wild Duck on Sunday afternoon. A perfect end.
