I was due to see King Kong Company perform in Naas recently, but unfortunately, that festival got cancelled. So, when I was asked if I'd like to go see them in Dolans , Limerick, I obviously said yes! I hopped in the car after work last Friday and hit the road. A few stops alongt he way, and I was there by 19:30, in plenty of time to make the show. I've seen King Kong Company plenty of times now to know what to expect. I was curious to see how Bobby Fingers would perform though, what with him have a dodgy leg. I needn't have worried though. He bounced around the stage on one leg, waving a cane in the air like a mad man! Support on the night was from local hip-hop artist, Citrus Fresh , a new name to me, but I really enjoyed his set. Anyway, on to the photos:
When you get invited to a Day of the Dead festival in Dublin, sure it'd be wrong not to attend, so attend I did!
What a great night it was too! All organised by Liam Oragh an held in the Cobblestone in Smithfield.
On the night we were treated to an eclectic mix of folk, punk, spoken word, rock and hip hop!
I can't recommend this small, one night, day of the dead festival enough. The majority of the acts you won't see playing the larger stages around Dublin, but that doesn't mean they're not any good! They deserve a stage, and they got it tonight!
Next year, I might just take the day after off as I believe the party continued on well into the early hours!
