Horace Andy to open new Dublin venue

Massive Attack legend Horace Andy takes care of ribbon cutting duties on April 10 and 11 when PoD/Red Box man John Reynolds' new venue, Crawdaddy, opens for business in Dublin's Harcourt Street.

With the Jamaican-based dub master to be accompanied by a nine-piece band, the opening night is certain to christen the sound system in style.

Originally intended to be the Dublin branch of the Jazz Café, the 400-capacity no longer has as any connection with the Mean Fiddler which was recently bought into by Reynolds' MCD rival Denis Desmond.

Horace Andy also plays the Half Moon Theatre in Cork on April 14.
