EXPECT PLENTY OF ding-donging-merrily-on-high on December 15th when Basement Jaxx pay a Christmas visit to Dublin’s Ambassador Theatre.

With their Rooty album one of the favourites to land this year’s £20,000 Mercury Music Prize, there’s also a chance that Messrs. Burton and Ratcliffe will be getting the drinks in.

Joining them on stage is Kele Le Roc, the air raid siren vocalist featured on their ‘Romeo’ monster.
