Rob Smith set to play Whelans on Monday

A mainstay of Dublin's indie scene and Hot Press football blogger extraordinaire, Rob Smith has just announced details of his final live outing of the year.

Smith will take to the Whelans stage in Dublin this coming Monday, December 19. It's all part of the weekly Song Cycle Sessions and, most importantly, admission is completely free.

Doors are open at 8pm, and the show is set to feature material from his previous two albums as well as new material.

Apparently, we are to "keep an eye out for a scouse special guest to accompany Rob with a La's classic." Who could that possibly be? Get down to Whelans to find out, it won't cost you a thing.
