Those of a certain vintage will be big fans of British indie rockers, The Wonder Stuff and this gig on March 10th in Dublin will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Where: Roisin Dubh, Galway

The supremely talented trio who have toured everywhere with Hozier are in Galway at the Roisin for what promises to be a brilliant gig.

Who: Empire Circus
Date: March 13th

The band formerly known as The Stand have reformed under a new name and are back doing live gigs. This should be pretty epic given the superb venue that is the Unitarian Church.
