Ticket Gig Of The Week

New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint entertained a tightly packed Whelan’s in Dublin this week.

The crowd – young and old, rich and poor – hung on to every note of Toussaint’s rich, rosy, comforting voice. Captivating. You could hear a pin drop between lyrics. A real treat on a damp wet Monday night in July. Photograph: Rob Hearne
