Bo Diddley announces Dublin date

That most legendary of rock 'n' rollers, Bo Diddley, makes a rare foray to Dublin on April 18 for an intimate gig in Crawdaddy.

As befits his nickname, The Originator, his amphetamined take on the blues had him performing on the Ed Sullivan Show as early as 1955.

Armed with his trademark square guitar, Diddley's subsequently traded licks with everyone from Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters to The Clash and The Rolling Stones.
