Crawdaddy gigs rescheduled: Tony Allen to play opening night

Last minute building delays have put back the opening of Dublin's Crawdaddy venue to April 16 when Tony Allen takes care of ribbon cutting duties.

Fela Kuti's partner in Afrobeat crime, the Nigerian's legion of admirers includes Manu Dibango, Ray Lema, Roy Ayers and Damon Albarn who can be heard on his new Home Cooking album. Allen plays a second show on the 17th with tickets for both nights available for €22.50 (standing) and €25 (seated).

The good news for Horace Andy fans is that the reggae legend is now Harcourt Street-bound on April 29 and 30 with tickets for the original dates still valid.
