Installation art meets stand-up comedy in the person of Bedwyr Williams. Echt, an installation including a coach in a forest clearing and a film, posits a singular dystopian future, where status is based on consumption and, production having collapsed, hoarders rule the roost. Williams tops the bill of Visual's summer Éigse season.

And the proof is in the pudding of a live gig, right? Having been awarded The Ticket's sizzling hot Album of the Week slot two weeks ago for their new record, Kablammo! – and following their wide-open spaces show at Slane Castle last week – Ash return to where they truly excel: a small venue with a roof. Kablammo!? More like BIFF! THWACK! POW!
