Attendance is compulsory in May when Candi Staton and her band, which includes former Style Council-er Mick Talbot, plays The Button Factory, Dublin (1) and The Pavilion, Cork (2). Tickets are €25.
One of the best things at 2008’s Electric Picnic, Staton has been doing her soul/gospel/disco thing since the ‘50s, with ‘Young Hearts Run Free’, ‘Nights On Broadway’ and ‘You Got The Love’ just a handful of her trademark tunes.
