Who: Foxes
Date: Feb 24th
Where: Whelans, Dublin
Foxes is the brainchild of English singer/songwriter Louisa Rose Allen. The elder statesmen of us all will notice a resemblance to Susanna Hoff and that can never be a bad thing.
She has a great ear for catchy electronic based tunes and will serenade the capital this Wednesday night.

Who: Richard Hawley
Date: Feb 26th
Where: Black Box, Galway
Former member of Pulp, Richard Hawley has become something of a cult indie figure and has been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, not once, but twice.
The Sheffield-born singer is a fantastic live act and Galwegians are in for an absolute treat this Friday night.

Who: The 4 Of Us
Date: Feb 27th
Where: Spirit Store, Dundalk
The 4 Of Us are a national treasure and should be celebrated accordingly. The Murphy brothers from Newry are still going strong.
Their very first album, Songs For The Tempted is a brilliant album and contains some absolute belters on it.
