JAZZ
Tommy Halferty Trio
JJ Smyth's, Aungier St, 9pm, €10, jjsmyths.com
Derry-born guitarist Tommy Halferty is one of the most visceral experiences in Irish jazz, an apparently effortless improviser in the mold of McLaughlin, Metheny and Abercrombie. He has released a string of fine albums under his own name, and for many years was a member of the great US drummer Keith Copeland's trio. Halferty's own long-standing trio features the experienced rhythm team of bassist Dave Redmond and drummer Kevin Brady.

CLUB
Tome
The Loft at Seven, Galway, 10pm, €10
A new home for the Tome crew as they say goodbye to The Vic and move uptown to Seven. The plan is to carry on as they always did, since their first bash back in 2013 with Frank B at the helm and as they've been doing with more recent guests such as Marquis Hawkes, and throw a hell of a party. The Tome residents are on the decks and you're asked not to bother snapping photos on your phone on the dancefloor: "Tome is for dancing not for taking photos of yourself."

Project Cube Previews Sep 14 Runs Sep 15-17 7.15pm €15/€13 fringefest.com
Clare O'Reilly, who you may remember from the fantastic Boys and Girls, here delivers her own engaging new work, a timely piece that imagines the inevitability of human/robot relationships. One unconventional couple, a woman and her mechanoid, might pursue their own narcissistic love story – if they're allowed.

TRAD
Seamus Begley and Tim Edey
Whelan's, Wexford St, 8pm, €15 whelanslive.com
Rarely are albums so pithily titled, but Begley's first solo recording of songs is titled The Bold Kerryman, and anyone even distantly acquainted with this west Kerry box player and singer of the most sublime songs will attest to how fitting a moniker it is. Tonight's album launch is a chance to hear Begley in full vocal flight: a treat in any setting.
