Belfast rockers LaFaro have been touring brand new album ‘Easy Meat’ for the last month and give it a Galway debut in Kelly’s this Thursday, 20 October. Polar opposite to the delicate poise of the influential jazz bassist Scott LaFaro from which the quartet takes their name, LaFaro are a wrecking ball of a band.

Their rhythmic post-hardcore is designed to pulverize dance floors and leave no bottle of beer undrunk. This is music distilled to its fundamental elements.

“We hark back to time when rock music was still fun,” states lead rabble-rouser Johnny Black ominously.

Some of the behemoths of modern stand-up comedy will descend on Galway next week for the Bulmers Galway Comedy Festival. From Wednesday 26 to Monday 31 October, acts as diverse as Dylan Moran, The Rubberbandits and 4 Poofs and a Piano will get bums on seats and drinks coming out nostrils as they showcase their comic timing and skill on the mic.

If stand-up isn’t your thing, there is a Faulty Towers Dining Experience to feed and fool you and even a comedy club for kids.
