Twisted Pepper Dublin Thurs 11pm €15 01-8734800

Every time Annie MacManus (below left) comes home, her profile seems to have risen another notch.

The Ballinteer native hits Dublin this time around after gathering loads of kudos for her latest TV gig, co-presenting Other Voiceson RTÉ2. It's yet another feather in the cap of the former Queen's University student who went from weekend stand-in on BBC Radio One to regular fixture on the station.

For tonight's Annie Mac Presentsshow, McManus is joined by global-bass don, Beeper hit-maker and ex-MIA tour DJ Graeme Sinden. Sinden is taking a break from the studio, where he's recording a Sinden The Count debut album for Domino Records, to rock the Pepper.

Also on the bill are local luminaries Kormac (who is in full band mode and, yep, that includes the barbershop quartet), Arveene and Shortie. All the fixings for one hell of a do on Middle Abbey Street.
