Back from yet another forty days and nights in the musical desert of mixed Biblical metaphors, like Our Lord Jesus, Hiberno-Australiana bores, Holt, will be resurrected this Easter weekend for two acoustic gigs. The first is a Gigsmart acoustic session in The Lounge Room (off Cathal Brugha St) on Thursday 24 Mar and the second is on Sunday 27 Mar in McTurcaill's of Tara St, a place more usually associated with guards and nurses than with the art of the melancholy yet soulfully uplifting dirge. Both these gigs are so important they're free. Come at eight to load up on booze or cola in order to strengthen your natural denences. www.desertedvillage.com
