| INDEPENDENCE DAY IN DUBLIN | | At long last the band have confirmed a gig in Dublin. Saturday July 4th the Minnows will take the stage at Bewley's Theatre Cafe in Grafton Street in the heart of the city. Bass player Kevin is delighted to be back playing in the capital - "Our Dublin gigs have always been special and we have a lot of friends who have been pleading with us to play there, we were disappointed not to be able to fit it into our schedule at the end of last year, we can't wait to get back there it should be a great night!". Doors open at 8.30 and tickets are available in the shop page on this site. Please note this is a small, intimate venue. It will be a great opportunity to see the band in close surroundings but there are very limited ticket numbers - available strictly on a first come first served basis. Hopefully see you there! | | | posted by, jackie | Wed 10th, Jun 2009 13:38 |
