JOE’s 5 go-to gigs in Ireland this week (December 1 – 6)

The best of the live action around Ireland this week.

Who: Mumford & Sons Date: December 2nd, 3rd Where: 3Arena, Dublin The waistcoat-clad collective with an ear for a catchy riff are in Dublin this week. The last time they played here was in 2013 when they graced the Phoenix Park. Like them or loathe them, they'll put on a show and their fans will love it. https://youtu.be/vD3iXpv4h-o Clip via MumfordAndSonsVEVO Who: Gaz Coombes Date: December 3rd Where: Roisin Dubh, Galway The lead singer from Supergrass and once the proud owner of sideburns as big as Finglas, Gaz Coombes arrives in Galway for an intimate show in the Roisin Dubh. https://youtu.be/bRLWDGF2hVg Clip via GazCoombesVEVO Who: Ham Sandwich Date: December 4th Where: Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin We love Ham Sandwich and we love Christchurch Cathedral. Already, this gig has two of our favourite things so it's well worth checking out. https://youtu.be/3Sy_KSh7FIo Clip via Sunday Sessions Who: The Riptide Movement Date: December 4th Where: Dolan's Warehouse, Limerick With an ear for an infectious melody and putting on barnstorming gigs, The Riptide Movement are a band to be seen live and Dolan's in Limerick is a brilliant venue. https://youtu.be/CshpZTyEqs0 Clip via RiptideMovemenetVEVO Who: Lethal Dialect Date: December 5th Where: Academy 2, Dublin To our mind, the finest exponent of rapping in the country and someone who always puts on a brilliant live show. Lethal Dialect is one of our hardest working artists and deserves your attention. This gig on Saturday night in the Academy promises to be an absolute belter. https://youtu.be/uIrmW7iOMN8 Clip via Lethal Dialect
