I am working-class. I am hard-working. I enjoy heroics. This is the festival for me. Hard Working Class Heroes, the “annual showcase festival and conference for new Irish music”, has just announced details of its 2011 line-up, one hundred Irish bands who will play in Dublin city centre from the 6th to the 8th October. The quality is bloody impressive, but I’m going to go mental and blindly recommend you catch Bitches With Wolves, Moths, Grand Pocket Orchestra, Overhead, The Albatross, Owensie, Toby Kaar, Sleep Thieves, The Holy Roman Army, Bats, We Are Losers, Cfit and Culch favourites EleventyFour and The Dying Seconds. Mmm, eclectic. *drools* The festival venues are The Button Factory, The Mercantile, The Grand Social, Shebeen Chic, Twisted Pepper and The Workman’s Club, none of whom I can be arsed to link to.

***COMPETITION CLOSED. WINNER HAS BEEN CONTACTED*** Screen Cinema on D’Olier Street are kicking off their Action Season with a screening of Die Hard on this coming Monday night at 20.20. We don’t really have anything to say about it other than Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother F’kers!!

The lovely people at Screen have given us a pair of tickets to give away. So if you’d like to join us for some popcorn and Bruce Willis action (you don’t actually have to sit with us) then just leave a comment … There’s more →
