Will Saul @ The Twisted Pepper
Beatyard Presents; English DJ, Producer and record label owner Will Saul at The Twisted Pepper this Wednesday, the 23rd of October.
Through his early life, Saul was destined for musical success. As a piano, sax and timpani player as a child, he began buying his own records at the age of 8, branching into R&B and soul, while keeping up to date on the Top 40 Charts aswell. At the age of 16, he discovered dance music. It wasn't long before he had saved up enough money to buy his own turntables and a mixer and after only two years, Will had won Muzik's contest "Bedroom Bedlam" for his music talent.
Ten years down the line, Saul has had a steadily increasing success. Now proud owner of two record labels, Simple Records and Aus Records, which boast music releases of artists such as Bicep, Dusky, George FitzGerald and Midland.
Take a listen to his original track "Mbira" here, and if it seems like your cup of tea, check out the link below for tickets on Resident Advisor for just €12.

Bastille @ The Olympia Theatre
London based band Bastille take their winter tour to Dublin, and play a sold out show at The Olympia Theatre this Friday, 25th of October.
After forming in 2010, it wasn’t till the release of their fourth single “Pompeii” in February 2013, that Bastille hit number 2 in the UK charts, upon release of their first studio album titled “Bad Blood”.
Did you know the name 'Bastille' originates from the event ‘Bastille Day’ – lead member Daniel Smith’s birthday? Interesting fact for the day there.
You'll probably have heard plenty of Bastille from the radio, recognising singles such as 'Pompeii', 'Laura Palmer' and 'The Things We Lost In The Fire'. Check out their very original and different cover of Miley Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop', performed live on BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge.

Samhain Festival @ Glendalough House, Wicklow
If you haven’t heard of it, Samhain (“Festival of the Dead”) is a one night, BYO, fancy dress event to celebrate when the doors to the ‘outside’ world open, allowing us to communicate with spirits. Seems pretty apt, with Halloween coming and all.

After a fairly rapid sell out of three separate ticket releases, Samhain Festival announced on their Facebook page that they were releasing another very limited number of tickets. They will be available today at 6pm, so get them quick before they sell out on www.tickets.ie!
Here's a little taster of what to expect this Bank Holiday Sunday..
