Quiet riot

The multi-legged/faceted/media-d beast that is The Whispering Gallery take over Dublin's Project Arts Centre on December 7.

Formed – ever so loosely – in 1999, their ranks presently include (at least) two members of The Jimmy Cake, whose Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead album is set to feature in many a year-end critic's roundup.

The show is part of the festival of Irish and Nordic music that's running at the venue from December 5 to 8, and also features The Cikada String Ensemble, The Crash Ensemble and Kevin Volans.
