Tomorrow sees quality Irish band Ham Sandwich play their first major headline gig of the year (it’s sold out, too). On the same night there are shows from London/Manchester act We Have Band and Glasgow’s Errors, Kildare’s Mmoths, and Northern Ireland’s Fighting With Wire (Louth). Sunday sees Philadelphia singer- songwriter Kurt Vile the Violators settle into Irish ways, while Wednesday fetches up highly acclaimed Californian act Grouplove.
