Gigs in Toales Live Venue in Dundalk this weekend

Plenty happening with live music gigs in Toales in Dundalk this weekend.

Friday 12th January – Mark Durnin plus special guest Geansaí and Charlie Skipp

Mark Durnin is an Irish Singer/Songwriter from Dundalk who writes all of his own material, and has always had trouble deciding which "genre" he sits in, having been described as "Folk Rock", “Soul" and "Real chilled out".

You can make your own mind up when he plays live inside the bar in Toales as part of a month of free acoustic gigs.

Support comes from the sometimes dark but always irreverent Geansaí, and Toales favourite Charlie Skipp.

Saturday 13th January – Elephant plus support Eugene O'Hanlon

Another of Toales' free intimate acoustic gigs inside in the bar, this time featuring the critically acclaimed Elephant, the musical vehicle of Dundalk based multi-instrumentalist Shane Clarke, who always stays true to his idea that an artist should just get out of the way and let the song become whatever it is meant to become...be that avant-garde folk, synth pop, soft rock or even Eno inspired 80's gothic romance. This is one not to be missed.

Support on the night comes from Eugene O'Hanlon, who's style is difficult to describe, with infectiously odd songs that demand his audience get involved in every time.

First act on 9pm, free admission.
