TRADITIONAL

Kevin Conneff and Redmond O’Toole

Solstice Gallery, Navan 8pm €20 solsticeartscentre.ie

December 21st is a date to be reckoned with each year in Meath, and this concert is a timely celebration of the annual solstice, as The Chieftains’ Kevin Conneff brings bodhrán and voice to the party, along with guitarist O’Toole. The intimate 60-seater setting should serve this duo well for this once-off performance.

HIP-HOP

Run the Jewels

Opium Rooms, Dublin 7.30pm €15 runthejewels.net

No surprise that this much- anticipated Irish debut for Run the Jewels is sold out. In fact, either Killer Mike or El-P (above) could probably fill the room under their own steam, such is their reputation. But when you combine the duo, add in two fantastic albums and throw in a full house a few nights before Christmas, you’ve the makings of a sweaty, loud, unmissable night out. Support from Clare diamond geezers Godknows and Mynameisjohn. JC
