Dunne deal

Tom Dunne brings his Best Of Irish extravaganza to the stage this Crimbo, with a December 23 show at the Olympia.

Thus far, acts confirmed include Something Happens, The Walls, The Ray Harman All Stars feat. Pat Fitzpatrick, Wayne Sheehy, Trevor Hutchinson, Conor Brady and Michael Buckley, and a selection of guest vocalists including Simon Carmody (Golden Horde), Colin Devlin, Nick Kelly (Fat Lady Sings), Leslie Dowdall (In Tua Nua) and Jerry (An Emotional Fish) Whelan with a plethora more yet to be confirmed.

If that lot ain't good enough reason to put bums in chairs, it should be noted that proceeds are to be donated to the Temple Street Children's Hospital. So drink, er, drink and be merry!
