Joe Harrington

The best live music happening all over the country this week.

Who: Amber Run
Date: Wednesday, May 6.
Where: The Academy 2, Dublin. (Tickets here)

The indie-folk darlings of the UK at the moment have crafted a brilliant debut album.

We saw them last year and they put on a charming and powerful live show. Well worth a look.

Who: Laura Marling
Date: Thursday, May 7.
Where: Olympia, Dublin. (Tickets here)

One of the biggest names in the business is back in the Olympia.

Her new album Short Movie is different to previous releases, but that should make the show more varied and interesting.

Who: Kate Miller-Heidke
Date: Thursday, May 7.
Where: Cyprus Avenue, Cork. (Tickets here)

An Australian singer-songwriter who is a genius on the piano, expect an intimate night in Cork.

Who: Gaz Coombes
Date: Friday, May 8.
Where: Dolan’s, Limerick (Tickets here)

The Supergrass front man’s solo show rolls into Limerick, recent reviews have been positive so watching Gaz do his thing could make for the perfect Friday evening.

Who: VANN MUSIC
Date: Friday, May 8.
Where: Whelan’s, Dublin. (Tickets here)

VANN MUSIC are one of the brightest young talents in the country and they launch their EP Running, which is a cracker, in Whelan’s on Friday. Go see them.
