Come Here To Me!

There’s plenty out there in Blogland on the Hard Working Class Heroes festival which kicks off Thursday. barrygruff across the way has a pretty substantial preview of what to check out over here, and the festival site has the complete line-up.

Of much interest to me and cheap people all over the city however is the ‘HWCH and the City’ portion of the festival. It brings the place to life, with free gigs taking place at a number of locations from Thursday through to Saturday. These range from Oxfam shops to DIT. With this and the recent Culture Night, not to mention Heritage Week, you’d have to feel a bit spoiled for free days out.

The free list is over here, I’m hoping to pop in to see Windings on Friday, based on their excellent opening for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists recently, and I’d pity the fool who misses Grand Pocket Orchestra in Music Maker at 1 on Saturday.

If you’re all into like….paying money into stuff (which can be good too, in all seriousness the likes of HWCH deserves our support in the form of twenty euro notes and the kind, otherwise there wouldn’t be freebies now would there?), the one I’d get along to is Talulah Does The Hula in the Workman’s Club Friday. Great fun that stuff.
