Come Here To Me! 
great music
That is pretty informative of runnings in Dublin. The only omission is the attempt by Rootical to hold a proper roots session in Dublin with Universal Rockers. Last year there were 2 sessions. One in Crumlin the other in Clondalkin. I don’t know whether Jason (Rootical) is planning further events in Dublin this year
Mick ( Saoirse Sounds)
just a note, only Seven Deadly Skins are playing Thursdays at turks head
Thanks.
And as of recently wednesday reggae at sweeney’s is no longer on
Mick(Saoirse Sounds),
Was at 2 sessions.Highlights of the year.Sound systems in full effect!Costs too prohibitive!Numbers of people practically need to be guaranteed just to break even.People have to make the effort to go off the beaten track.Once they get a taste ,it would snowball!All I can say to anybody is You got to be there,it’s worth it.
Just a note you left out the Sunday night session in the Industry night club
nothing Tuesdays??
Now that’s what I call a public service. Well done all.
Pleasure.
