Upcoming gigs in Dundalk's Toales this week

Music-lovers are in for a treat with plenty of live music in Toales in Dundalk over the coming days.

Thursday 17th October - Fireside Sessions present Andrea Brunini. Doors open 9pm - free admission

Fireside Sessions is an acoustic club that showcases the best in acoustic acts, always inside by the fire in the bar, always free admission, and is proud to welcome Andrea Brunini, who visits Toales all the way from Borgo a Mozzano, in the province of Lucca in Italy.

Born in the middle of nature, in a small village where art and beauty can be found simply by looking out the window, Andrea's musical style is born from the notes of Italian folk music and a love for poetry mixed to the sounds of pop and rock music.

‘No legal barrier’ to Irish Bill banning imports from illegal Israeli settlements

Andrea has been active for over the last few years, touring different locations in Italy and the European continent.

Armed with a backpack and a guitar, he began to perform everywhere: from small pubs to concerts in the square, up to the street.

This experience has allowed him to meet different people, listen to new stories and receive more input for his music. This is going to be a truly unique Fireside Session and kicks off around 9pm with free admission as usual.

Friday 18th October - Avocado Rocks Promotions Four Band Showcase

A monthly showcase of independent artists and bands.

This month, we have;Koi, Lapdog, Midweek Crisis and Aiden McClusky. Doors 8pm, kick-off 9pm. Admission only €5.

Saturday 19th October – The Grudge (Tool Tribute). Doors 8pm - Admission €12.

Monaghan-based Tool Tribute "The Grudge" return to Dundalk, debuting in Toales Live Venue on Saturday 19th October.

A Grudge show in Dundalk is a rarity, which makes this gig doubly special, because their two hour show is truly breathtaking, recreating to perfection Tool's sound - an ever-evolving meld of dark underground metal with the ambition of art rock, creating mind-altering sonics with a wry sense of humor, and a mystical aesthetic that attracts a cult-like following of devoted fans with just a handful of albums spread across decades.

This is one show not to be missed.Doors 8pm, tickets €12
