Eat A Peach
Grand Social Dublin 11pm thegrandsocial.ie
A homegrown bill for the bank-holiday weekend with Cork native John Daly at the top of the list. He’s the craftsman producing warm-hearted grooves with much space and depth for labels like his own Feel imprint, Francois Kevorkian’s Wave Music and Love Fever. There’s also a live set from Automatic Tasty in the Loft, the Dip DJs are in the charge of the selections in the Beer Garden and there’s house and techno from Analog’s Stephen Mahoney and Vladimir Miler Jr in the Ballroom.
