Barry H, of the Alternative Social Club, writes:
Eileen Gogan is a critically-acclaimed songwriter and singer who has sung with some of Ireland’s finest bands including The Would Be’s, The Revenants and The Drays.
Her debut album The Spirit of Oberlin was recorded with her band The Instructions and released last year to widespread praise.
As a singer, Eileen’s powerful, unaffected singing style has invited comparisons with Sandy Denny and Kirsty McColl but her sound – a blend of glistening guitar and vintage keyboards – draws on a range of influences such as Richard and Linda Thompson, Neil Young, Can, Patti Smith, REM and Yo La Tengo.
The Instructions are Ed McGinley (guitars), Niall McCormack (keyboards) Eamonn Davis (bass) and Eamonn Ryan (drums).
Doors 4pm. Tickets €8.

That’s an 80’s Irish Supergroup of sorts if I ever did see one: a Be, a Dixon, an Arse, a Paulette and a Happen.
