Christmas comes early at the Red Hat - and late at the Cabin

Thanks to Paul and Anne McEvoy, curators of the Red Hat Acoustic Music Club at the Harbour Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare, for this message:

It's Red Hat time again - Friday 12th. Looking forward to seeing all our friends. Happy Christmas to all.

Music is expected to start around 8.30 p.m., and a donation of €3.00 covers coffee/tea and sandwiches at the interval.

Another celebrated acoustic music venue, the Cabin Sessions at Uncle Tom's Cabin, Dundrum, Dublin 14, presents shows as a rule on the last Thursday of each month. This month, that would mean Christmas Day; so instead, the Cabin's Christmas Special show will be held on Friday 2 January, with the Cabin Crew house band and many guest artists. 9.30-11.30 p.m., admission free.
