    Anyone heading to any of the Sligo Summer Festival gigs....or both? I prefer Friday evenings line up but might find myself at a loose end to wander in both nights.

    What's that? Sligo Boards Beers you say? :D (If only they sold more than Heineken out the window of the Garavogue I might hear more music)

    Plenty of music this weekend in the town with Sligo Live. Anyone hitting any gigs?

    Hoping to get Midlake tonight and Pete Molinari in the Festival Club. Of course have to see Rackhouse Pilfer will be in The Garavogue tomorrow (Sat) at 3.30pm, always a winner with them lads. Sat and Sun nights are out for me though :( due to other engagements (OK I'm going knick-knocking).

    For anyone not familiar with them, Sarah (Crummy) and Jessie (Whitehead) are playing on Sat too, Fureys @ 4pm I think, worth a look.

    Sligo Flea Market with bells on this Christmas at The Model!

    For our Christmas markets on Saturday November 23rd, December 14th and 21st, we're going to be TWICE the size, that means DOUBLE the stalls, and twice the choice! Want a one of a kind vintage dress for the office party? How about some vintage costume jewellery for the ladies in your life - or perhaps your fella collects vinyl! We've got your back!

    We're going all festive, so as well as the usual favourites - vintage and preloved clothing, retro bric a brac, bohemian gifts and upcycled jewellery, our fabulous stallholders will be selling handcrafted Christmas decorations, artisan children's toys, and retro bakes that will take you back to the Christmas' of your own childhood!

    Joining us in December will be the designers from The Mall Studio, selling a range of exclusive illustrations, suitable for that special Christmas gift.
    After you've made that list (and checked it twice!), put your feet up at our dedicated 'Pamper Parlour', and get a retro updo! After all that, unwind in the reopened The Model Café with its selection of cakes, teas and coffee.

    On Saturday March 29th, take a nostalgic trip back to the kitschy fifties at The Model for a very special screening of the cult movie Cry Baby.

    Legendary trash director John Waters' creates a world of the leather-clad, hormone-driven “Drapes” and the evening gown-wearing, clean-cut “Squares” in 1950’s Baltimore, which falls into disarray when beautiful square Alison falls in love with the soulful and handsome drape Wade “Cry Baby” Walker. The fantastic 50’s soundtrack, the remarkable costumes and the general sense of John Waters’ anarchy makes this film an classic...not to mention a star-making turn from some young hooligan called Johnny Depp.

    The audience is invited to help set the scene by dressing up in their coolest threads, paying homage to the 1950s or emulating the characters from the film. Leather jackets and hair gel recommended! Prizes will be presented to the best dressed chicks and fellas! For this special event, the Rock&Roll Tea Party Co will host a Pin-Up Pop-Up Salon and Frock Shop from 4pm on Saturday afternoon to give you gals retro makeovers for the evening! At the party there will be a vintage PHOTOBOOTH for you to capture those stylish moments.

    This screening will be followed by an AFTER PARTY with local DJ Dilly Dream playing a range of rockabilly tunes from the era. Party goers can lounge at the POP UP COCKTAIL BAR, serving retro cocktails and sodas throughout the evening.

    Doors will open at 7pm, with the screening beginning at 8pm. Tickets are €15 (€12 student or unwaged). Tickets can be purchased on the night or in advance at http://themodel.ie/film.

    A percentage of proceeds from this screening will go towards The Donal Parsons Trust.

    The Cairde Festival runs from the 6th - 13th July and should have some good gigs. Programme HERE

    I'd recommend making your way out to Cummeen Strand (about 4k outside the town) on Saturday 12th to see The Blue Raincoats open air production of On Bailes Strand. It's free and it'll be something different. They done a production on top of Knocknarea last year which was fantastic. Hopefully the weather will be favourable (also it's at 1pm so you can still plan for the night).
