Unless you want to spend Christmas sleeping with the fishes, we strongly advise that you get along to the Dublin Olympia on December 10 for the Fun Lovin' Criminals' special Yuletide show.

The visit will doubtless generate some extra business for Bag Of Hits, their double-CD 'Best Of' which Huey Morgan describes as, "The end of a chapter. We had to overcome heavy odds to get this far. When we started, there weren't that many bands mixing rock and rap. Now it seems that everybody is doing it."

Tickets priced €33.50 are on sale now.
