There is plenty of live music happening in Toales in Dundalk this weekend along with a craft and food market in aid of the Mater Hospital Foundation charity.

Friday 23rd February - The Frenzy Of Tongs plus supports The Gakk, The Coathanger Solution and Talking Knives.

Returning to Toales after a memorable gig here last year, all the way from Providence, Rhode Island, The Frenzy of Tongs headline an evening of pure punk rock n roll!!!

This larger than life American four-piece describe themselves as "a pro-wrestling punk rock band..... or is it a punk rock pro-wrestling band? Whichever! Either way, we're bigger than fun!". Expect the unexpected!!

Support on the night comes from Dublin's female-fronted five-piece (and Toales favourite) The Coathanger Solution, Dundalk's very own The Gakk, who have just returned from a short tour in the UK, and debuting in Toales, Fermanagh four-piece Talking Knives.Four top quality bands for only €8!!!

Doors 8pm - Admission €8

Saturday 24th February - Toales and Kitsch Bitsch present Craft and Food Market

Toales said it is delighted to host their first indoor market to raise funds for the Mater Hospital Foundation charity.

Local craft shop Kitsch Bitsch has gathered together a host of local crafters and artists.

There will be great local talent there, including wood crafts, hot and cold vegan foods, sweets and treats, clothing and accessories.

Brickx Club are hosting a free Lego workshop from 3pm to 5pm, which will be brilliant for the kids.

Get your photo taken with our giant selfie frame to show your support of the Big Heart Appeal.

All this and more, and all for a very worthy cause.

The market runs from 12-5 and is free entry, and is sure to be a great event. 

Saturday 24th February - Words That Burn + supports Fomorian + PxBx

Prepare for a night of noise when one of Ireland’s most successful and intense alt-metal bands Words that Burn return to Toales' stage to promote their new single "The Cavalry Ain't Comin' ".

Renowned for their searing, high-energy live shows, this Dundalk four-piece consider each of their hook-laden tracks to be a sonically visual montage of hopes, fears, pain and redemption.

Support is no less noisy - Fomorian, who are new to the Irish metal scene, have made a huge splash with their Lamb Of God/Chimaira/Sepultura inspired progressive heavy metal.Belfast's PxBx push the ragged boundaries of the Irish hardcore/grindcore circuit with their relentless barrage of sonic abuse that just makes you feel dirty.....

Doors open 8pm. Tickets €10, available at Eventbrite and on the door.
