From the people behind Stag’s Head Raw.

Care to spend a leisurely late Sunday afternoon in the lovely room above The Stag’s Head, Dame Court, Dublin with soulful Dj Karl Tsigdinos and the Trouble Pilgrims?

Barry writes:

The Trouble Pilgrims were named after the third Radiators from Space album at a time when Philip Chevron was unable to work with the band due to the resurgence of his cancer. Philip Chevron passed away on the 8th of October. This has meant that his three Radiators band mates Pete Holidai, Steve Rapid and Johnny Bonnie will in future be joined by Paddy Goodwin and Tony St Ledger to play a mix of Radiators songs with a selection of well chosen covers and songs from Pete Holidai’s “Devil’s Guitar” album.

We’re going to party like it’s the early 1980s.

Drink cider to Soft Cell and argue over a five spot

Because YOU controversially asked for it.

Rocky DeValera and The Rhythm Kings [performing John Wayne above in 1982] will be taking to the stage this Sunday AFTERNOON at the Stag’s Head Raw, upstairs in The Stag’s Head, Dame Court, Dublin.

The ‘Raw’s Barry writes:

What we’re trying to do with this is recapture the vibe of those Sunday afternoons from way back when which saw many waiting for the boozer to reopen after Holy Hour so we could watch some bands and drink some pints.
Doors are 4.00pm and admission is a mere €8.00. Alternatively you can reserve tickets by mailing stagsheadraw@gmail.com. It’s going to be magic…
