Competition: Event of the Week 9th - 15th May

This time around we’ve chosen the Clockwork Apple Mini Festival. Happening in Whelans from Thursday 12th - Saturday 14th, the 3-day event is being billed by organisers as ‘easing everyone into the festival spirit’ and will feature 11 acts across the three nights covering electro-pop, rock and folk. We’re particularly looking forward to Thursday’s headliners Miracle Bell but Saturday’s looking promising too with a set from Belfast’s Morning Claws and a late-night slot featuring Sleep Thieves. Tickets are €10 per night or €15 for the three nights and being the nice guys that we are, we have a pair of weekend tickets to give away. Leave a comment below telling us what band name you’d choose if you were in a band and we’ll pick a winner on Thursday morning. The full line up is below:
