Mother Redcaps demolition party this Sunday

One of the oldest and most cherished pubs and music venues in Dublin, Mother Redcaps Tavern is marked for demolition early next month.

To commemorate the passing of this Dublin 8 institution (off Thomas St. for those making their first and final visit), a bunch of local bands are staging a night of loud music and peaceful protest titled "Dodge The Wrecking Ball".

Taking place this Sunday, June 26, the bill includes recent Hot Press interviewees Crumb, Melba (ex Eileen Gogan The Would Be's), Groom, Richer Than Astronauts, The Ruby Tailights (ex-Sunbear) and the inimitable House Of Mexico, who play the first hometown gig since their storming of Tralee of last month.

Doors open at 7.30pm and admission is priced at a mere €7.
