If you can't handle the heat...

Worrying about to what to do with your Thursdays is a thing of the past with Coast @ The Purty Kitchen in Dun Laoghaire launching a new series of weekly gigs.

Kicking off on October 23 with Luka Bloom, the live action continues with Aslan (30) and Antoni O Breskey and Angolan percussionist Mario Ngnoma (November 6).

The Breskey show promises to be an absolute corker with no lesser an authority than, ahem, Hot Press describing him as "a genius whose originality makes him one of the most innovative artists in the varied musical genres of today."

All gigs start at 9pm with more information available from www.purtykitchen.com
