This Dublin Suburb Is Declaring Its Independence With A Brilliant Charity Gig

Grangegorman is declaring its independence from Stoneybatter with a charity gig next weekend.

As anyone familiar with D7 will know, Grangegorman has oft been subsumed by its larger neighbour but the area has seen a resurgence in recent times.

The opening of new pub The Barbers has definitely brought life to the neighbourhood and proprietor Chris Darby has decided to host a definitive Independent Day for Grangegorman on March 11th.

All for a good cause, of course.

Paddy Casey will headline a great night of music, with performances from Ollie Cole and Gavin Fox from Turn, Nathan Connolly of Snow Patrol fame, and Steve Gormley.

Tickets, priced at €20, are available from the bar and all funds raised will go towards the very worthy cause of the Capuchin Food Shelter.

Sounds like it's going to be a cracking night...
