Who: Jess Glynne
Date: March 31
Where: Olympia Theatre, Dublin
Another brilliant young talent adorns the glorious old surroundings of the Olympia Theatre in Dublin this Thursday night. Making her initial breakthrough as lead vocalist for Clean Bandit’s ‘Rather Be’ and Route 94’s ‘My Love’, she has gone on to really make her name as a solo artist.
She already has a ridiculous amount of number one singles to her name and has a voice that is timeless. This will be a great gig.
