Saturday December 17 will see iconic act Lir bring their now legendary Christmas show to Dublin's Workman's Club. Their first such show in three years is set to be quite a celebratory affair after their massively successful benefit gig in Vicar Street, and to make the night even more unmissable, hotly-tipped goth-folk act Tarantella Fall have just been confirmed as support on the night.

Lir are planning to incorporate a couple of songs from their solo careers, as well as the expected Lir favourites. As for Tarantella Fall, expect a high energy blast through their debut album Abandoned Road, launched at the very same venue in March.

It's a busy month for The (other) Fall, with a free show in Ryan's Bar, Kilkenny on Friday December 16, and a return to Jamrock in Beggy's Bar, Navan, the following week. They have also announced that their next single 'Wasteland' will be made available as a free download on February 10th, with a show in Captains Live, Blanchardstown to coincide.
