Chris Jones & the Night Drivers (USA) at the Pavilion, Dun Laoghaire, 8 Mar. 2018

Thanks to Nigel Martyn and his Old Flattop agency in Belfast for organising the forthcoming tour in this island by Chris Jones & the Night Drivers (USA) - and for this poster image for the band's appearance at the Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. This show starts at 8.00 p.m. on Thursday 8 March. Tickets (€20/18) can be booked by 'phone (01-231-2929) or online at no extra charge.
