Competition CLOSED: Oliver Cole at The Workman’s Club

What are you up to this Saturday night? Nothing? Christ, we can’t have that, which is why Culch.ie would like to send you, and a friend of your choosing - you don’t have to bring Darren this time round - to see the lovely Oliver Cole in the Workman’s Club on Wellington Quay (that’s in Dublin, culchie Culchies!). Onetime Turn frontman Oliver has come up with some lovely Beatlesy/Elliottsy/Kinksy melodies for solo album We Albatri, like What Will You Do?, embedded most handily below.

Winner will be chosen at random sometime Thursday morning. I’m airy-fairy in my timekeeping.
