Stop that.

This morning.

There are two free daytime music festivals of note happening this weekend OUTDOORS in Dublin: Dublin City Soul Festival in Merrion Square Park both Saturday and Sunday and Africa Day on Sunday. Both are good for bringing the kids to. If the rain doesn’t hold up though, head down to The Grand Social on Friday night for the launch of indie/electro three-piece Sounds Of System Breakdown’s excellent second album Nomad. They’ll be joined by Liza Flume and a guy from the UK called Pikachunes. €10 in but I’m giving away tickets on the site (link below) Here‘s the band’s new single ‘Neon Contrails’
