Bono's favourite tribute act at Monroe's Live
Wednesday, 17 March 2010

Bono's favourite U2 tribute act, 'Rattle & Hum' play upstairs at Monroe's Live on Friday night, 19 March. The group bears an uncanny resemblance to their inspiration with lead singer Michael Malone imitating Bono in every way, from his highly emotive performance to the fly shades and leather of the Zoo Tour. As well as perfectly mimicking the U2 sound, the band also looks the part.

Animated fun at the Roisin
Wednesday, 17 March 2010

The West coast's finest exponents of the raw and real Americana feel The Cartoon Thieves play Róisín Dubh today, Wednesday 17 March. Mixing original songs with fresh interpretations of old gems, The Cartoon Thieves' live show is a rumbling, riotous experience, where dirty swamp blues, soulful acapella numbers, bittersweet melodies and straight up rock 'n' roll are all fused together with a junkyard spook.
