The best live music happening all over the country this week.
Who: Villagers
Date: Wednesday, May 20th.
Where: Olympia, Dublin (
tickets here).
Conor O'Brien's new show is more stripped-back and low-key than his most recent tours.
We're imagining how good his soaring voice will sound in a hushed Olympia, there will be goosebumps.
