We have a pair of tickets available to one lucky Culch.ie reader. Just drop a comment below and tell us why you deserve the tickets. The cleverest or funniest reply will get the tickets - the winner will be chosen on Friday July 4th.
I deserve the tickets because “our song” is Whole of the Moon and hubby and I really need to get out and remember what it was like to be a couple again!!!!!
I deserve the tickets cause culch.ie is class!
@Ann lol - It’s a great song. I can suggest a good couples therapist.
@Paddy I like the way you’re thinking.
I deserve the tickets because I’m skint and I haven’t been to a gig in two years.
my finances are chronic, cork x southwest would be perfect tonic
Jerry Fish owes me a fiver.
Be on the side of justice, cluch.ie! Get me in there so I can recover my dosh and dignity!
Actually, now that I’ve managed to call you cluch.ie, I guess the deal is off. Damn my buttery digits!
I deserve these tickets cos my hen weekend is meant to be on that weekend but we’ve had to cancel it and now there’s nothing to do
Time to turn the frown upside down with 2 tickets!?!
There is a rumour in these parts that Skibereen and Lisa Hannigan are almost off the scale when it comes to being boring and ugly , and you wouldn’t want to stop for a pint or ask either of them to marry you . I believe I am the man to do the job here when it comes to enlightenment, and I have a camera , enough for a round or two , and a small gold ring that says I can get it done if you’ll give me the chance. The children will all be called Danny.
I deserve the tickets because I haven’t been to Skibbereen since I was 10 and I miss it so
