Another nice week this week. For the folk fans Andy Irvine and Paul Brady are in Vicar Street for 2 nights with Aoife Nessa Frances in Whelans on Wednesday. For those who like their music confused, loud and experimental bi-curios are in the Grand Social. Electronic legends the orb are in Liberty Hall on Wednesday and Michael Gira will bring an intense noise to the beautiful surroundings of St Anns Church on Thursday.
The Punks will be kept busy with No Matter from Belfast in the Thomas House on Friday and Bob Vylan in the Button Factory on Saturday. I was excited by the porspect of seeing Bob Vylan again but the all-dayer in Bohs will get my vote. What an event it promises to be too, a stellar line up including Powerplant + Strong Boys + Extravision + Grit + Mana + Blow Ins. It all kicks off the following day too in the same venue with Algara from Barcelona playing with Special Branch and Snake. We are blessed
