As we all concern ourselves with keeping cool and wondering if these record high temperatures are all as a result of climate change (*spoiler alert – yes they are) we have a few gigs to keep us going this week. Arab Strap are playing the second of their 2 consecutive nights in Whelans but the main highlight of the week has to be the mix of ulster and munster post punk in the guise of Big Boy Foolish and Sons of Southern Ulster in Whelans. This will be one well worth your time. See you down the front
