nialler9Choice Cuts present Hot 8 Brass Band, Ajo Arqestra @ The Sugar Club, Leeson Street, Dublin (€17.50)

Nialler9 writes:

The New Orleans’ band are known for their joyous cover of [Marvin Gaye’s] Sexual Healing and you might have seen them in the TV show Treme. They’re back in Dublin for the second time this year, with Tombstone a new album of original material to draw from.

This is what they sounded like last time around.

Support from the Dublin Afrobeat Orchestra aka Ajo Arqestra along with two of Dublin’s finest DJs Handsome Paddy and Lil Dave spinning after.

For the launch of a report containing recommendations by the Taskforce on Female Participation in Fianna Fáil chaired by Senator Power.

Have a gender…

The appointment of a Gender Equality Officer based in Fianna Fáil Headquarters;
A target of women making up one-third of the party local election candidates;
The establishment of a new Fianna Fáil Women Network to organise events for female members and provide support to female candidates;
A focus on encouraging more women to take up internal leadership positions, for example as constituency chairpersons;
A requirement for all constituency organisations to draw up their own plans to boost female participation locally.

Hmm.

James writes:

“We turned our cameras on some of Ireland’s best known tattoo artists – and those whose bodies exhibit their work – to analyse Ireland’s changing tattoo culture.

Skin Deep explores the history and future of tattoo culture with artists from Dublin Ink, Spilled Ink and Dragon Tattoo.”
