🎸🔥 SATURDAY TRIPLE BILL! 🍻
Three acts, three cracking sets, and no excuse for sitting at home! 😂 This Saturday we've got a full day of live music lined up in the front bar.
🎤 4PM: FOUL PLAY The Cashel lads are back! We haven’t seen them since June, so expect a fine mix of classics from Neil Young, Dylan, The Stones, The Jam and more. Get those vocal chords warmed up!
🎶 7PM: THE BEN REEL BAND We haven’t seen Ben and the lads since May, so it’s about time! Our good friends from South Armagh are back with their brilliant mix of Irish roots, folk, soul and reggae.
🔥 10PM: SMOKE WOOD Last with us in August, Barry Whyte, Thomas Fenlon, Billy Reddy and Paul Donohoe are back to serve up a mighty helping of rock and blues classics.
Three gigs, one Saturday, plenty of cold pints and good company. Get in early, grab a stool and make a day of it. 🍺🤘
