Play and gigs coming to Toales in Dundalk this weekend

Play and gigs coming to Toales in Dundalk this weekend

The Bonnevilles will take to the stage in Toales on Friday night, February 9th

FRIDAY 9 FEBRUARY - THE BONNEVILLES plus supports VANKIL ECHOES + A.N.J.A.

Get ready for a night of trashy garage punk blues.

The Bonnevilles are shaking Northern Ireland in a way it hasn't felt since Van Morrison & Them obliterated Club Rado in 1964 and Stiff Little Fingers blew apart The Trident in 1977!

The Lurgan duo don't so much play punk blues as use it as a spring board to create a completely new genre, taking Mississippi Hill Blues and Punk Rock to blow the roof off with their own unique dark Northern Irish Punk Blues stew.

Support comes from Vankil Echoes, who wowed the crowd the last time they played Toales with their progressive hard indie rock, and A.N.J.A., the German-born and Belfast-based singer, who's dynamic raw energy is captivating audiences with her unhinged, anthemic tunes, powerful, sometimes sultry vocals, evil riffs and a badass attitude.

Laced with grit and dripping with realness, Anja Romer, the driving force behind A.N.J.A., is harkening back to retro punk and garage, psych and stoner rock, effortlessly combining coolness with mystical tinges all the while radiating fierce feminine energy and unapologetic confidence.

Admission €10. Doors open 8pm.

SATURDAY 10 FEBRUARY - Tribute Double HeaderJAM PACT (The Jam) + ANGLE PARK (Big Country)

An incredible night of live music at Toales Bar & Live Venue with two amazing tribute bands.

Jam Pact will be channeling the spirit of Mod legends The Jam, bringing their iconic sound to life, while Angle Park will be paying homage to the legendary Big Country, delivering their anthemic hits with passion and energy.

Admission €10. Doors 8pm.

MONDAY 12 FEBRUARY - Tain Players present LONE STAR

Lone Star is a play in one act by James McLure plus in-bar entertainment by Pierce Quinn.

Dundalk's Tain Players present Lone Star, a one-act dark comedy by James McLure.

This hilarious study of a pair of Texas "good ole boys" on a Saturday night carouse explores the depths of brotherhood and the scars to be dealt with from battles fought both at home and abroad.

Staring Paul McGee and Peter Hoey with Kieran Lawless and directed by Brendan Rooney.

In-bar entertainment before and after the show by local singer/songwriter Pierce Quinn.

Admission €10.   Doors 7.30pm
