MARBLE CITY NIGHTS: Sinéad Connolly’s special Easter Bank Holiday gig guide

WE’VE been counting down the days … and finally the long weekend is here!

And Kilkenny’s hotspots have a jam-packed musical line-up for what promises to be a scorcher of an Easter Bank Holiday weekend, with something to suit every musical taste.

Roisín Dubh performs at Kyteler’s Inn tonight, while The Wandering Souls will take to the slightly raised stage at The Dylan Whiskey Bar tomorrow from 9pm.

If you’re feeling nostalgic in an 80’s or 90’s sort of way, get yourself down to Popland in Lanigans on Saturday night  from 10pm.

And it doesn’t end there: the Hot 4 Jazz Quartet and The Pearly Whites will have you bopping along to their tunes in the Left Bank on Sunday.
