John Power
Doors 8pm - Tickets €17.50
Having first made his mark on the UK pop scene
in the late '80s and early '90s with renowned
Liverpudlian quartet The La's, Power left
the group to form a new group called Cast.
The timing of band's emergence was perfect,
chiming with the mid-1990s rise of Britpop
and, with guitar-based kindred spirits such
as Oasis and Blur dominating the charts, Cast's
first two LPs, All Change (released in 1995
and reputedly Polydor's biggest-selling debut
album) and '97's Mother Nature Calls both
sold over 1,000,000 copies. BUY

17th November Wallis
Bird
Doors 8pm - Tickets €23.50
Acclaimed Irish artist Wallis Bird is back.
The string-shredding singer-songwriter - once
described by the Irish Times as having enough
energy on stage to be able to "kickstart
an entire economy" - has announced over
40 live dates and will be touring across Europe
in celebration of her new album. "I'm
calling it the New Moon Tour because of its
symbolism; transition, femininity, the passing
of time and new beginnings; the dark side
of light. All of this amounts to how I feel
at this point in my life. This is my new moon".
