The G-Man Gig of the Week

Serious contenders for Gig of the Week this week but it has to go to Ryan Francesconi who will perform in the Triskel Christchurch on Friday, July 22nd in Cork.

For more details on the man himself check out the interview with The G-Man published a few weeks back.

Read interview with Ryan Francesconi.

Support on the night will be provided by Dublin’s Cian Nugent who has recently released his debut album, Doubles, which is receiving rave reviews and is sure to be a contender for album of the year 2011.

Tickets are priced at €10/€12 which is an absolute steal. Trust me. To see/hear live music in the Triskel Christchurch is worth that price alone. Truly incredible venue and Friday could well be one of 2011’s musical highlights. Tickets can be purchased online via the official Triskel website, from the Triskel Box Office itself (located on Tobin Street in Cork City) or from Plugd Records (also located on Tobin Street).
