Went to two great gigs this month, Jim White and Mark Geary, both in Coughlans in Cork, venue is the size of a sitting room (40 to 50 punters is sold out), atmosphere is as intimate as u can get with clothes on. Next up is November, Vieux Farke Toure and two nights later Phosphorescent. All those gigs cost between €25 to €40. Going to lots of smaller, local, cheaper gigs as opposed to big event concerts. Last one of those was Gaslight Anthem, travelled to London, Hammersmith Odeon with my son, great gig also.
