Joel Plaskett - Crawdaddy - Nov 19

Mr. Joel Plaskett is simply the best of the best that Canada offers at the moment. His shows are intimate no matter the venue. he is affable, enjoyable, self-deprecating and at the same time fully aware of his talents. He belongs in the Tower Of Song with Cohen, Young and Lightfoot. His latest album Three (3 discs/ 27 songs) is a triumph, so deeply layered that even after a year and a half since its release it still has given up all its secrets. Don't miss him.
He plays Crawdaddy in Dublin Friday November 19th, The Set Theatre in Kilkenny on Saturday and Roisin Dubh in Galway Sunday.

Tokyo Police Club - The Academy - Nov 5

There are very few folks in Canada that I have come across who know that Ireland is bilingual. Funny as Canada is - French and English. Occasionally I've explained (or lied really) that my first tongue is Gaelic and that my language was stolen from me thus forcing me to speak English to which the poor sod would reply... well your English is good.
Tokyo Police Club are from a place just north of Toronto, Canada's largest city. This track is from their debut, A Lesson In Crime. They have a new record Champ which they are touring. They stop in at The Academy in Dublin Friday November 5.
