Come Here To Me!

If your heading to one gig this weekend, I’d recommend GhostPoet in The Grand Social tonight. Doors 9pm, €10 entry.

Recently migrated from the capital city of the West Midlands – Coventry – to the southerly climes of London, Ghostpoet looks set to make his mark on 2011. The softly spoken 24 year-old has already won over BBC Radio 1’s foremost tastemaker Gilles Peterson with a handful of off-kilter, loopy electronic ditties blessed with his delightfully rambling musings on modern life.

Afterwards? Get your reggae/dub fix at Roots Pon De Corner down at The Dark House Inn.

In its first few months in existance, the Roots Corner Sessions have quickly become one of the premier nights in Dublin for quality roots music. For March, two of the countries leading roots sounds will be passing thru the Dark Horse venue, starting with Galways finest, The Rootical Soundsystem.
