RSAG & Threadpulls, Castle House, Caslte Street Sat May 9th
The Model’s offsite programme New Spaces for Music are hosting the superb R.S.A.G. and Threadpulls this Saturday night in Castle House, Castle Street. Yes thats opposite Mary’s of Sligo, you may have spotted Jesus in the window there too!
After hearing Donal Dineen speak so highly of RSAG all of last summer, we finally caught the Kilkenny musician at Electric Picnic, and we can vouch - his show is definitely not worth missing!
As the rain hopefully disappears for the weekend, we hope you can leave the brollys behind and make it to some of the events below from the Vogler Spring Festival, to the Sligo Races, Jazz and Theatre -there is plenty going on! And don’t forget, the much-longed for Garavogue Bar re-opens this weekend! If you are on twitter, don’t forget to follow us for daily updates through-out the week.
