We popped down to Whelan’s last night for the Ones to Watch 2011 Festival.
Five quid on the door, you get a free pint of piss (Heineken) for your efforts, but you’re not there for that in fairness. The line up was stellar. We went along mainly to check out the excellent Hunter-Gatherer, but Toby Kaar was undoubtedly the find of the night. County Cork electronica had the room upstairs dancing away.
Were I not working early in the morning (very early in the morning), I’d be there again tonight. Get on it.
