What's on in the City? - June 2014

Redhairedguy

Much like the previous What's on in the City? thread, the same principles apply.

Here you can notify others of things; events, happenings, concerts, good restaurants, table quizzes, fundraisers, classes, for the month and following months. Any events pertaining to later months will be carried over until the event is over.

A few rules, however;
You have to have 200 posts or more to post, or >1 years on boards.
Once an event has been posted in this thread don't repost it - no bumping or reminding of events either.
Old events, too much chat, spam or topics that don't belong will be (re)moved.

Great music every Monday night in The Cellar Bar at Play
It's a night were Galways' hard working musicians (who don't really get to see each other) get together and just do what they do....play awesome music.
There's a house band but then anyone can get up a play whatever they can.
Amazing fun altogether
