What’s on Thursday: Milky Chance, Macy Gray and Fourth Space

ELECTRO/POP
Milky Chance

Vicar St, Dublin 7.30pm €18 vicarstreet.ie
There aren't too many German neo-folk duos out there that manage to blend acoustic with reggae, electronic and psychedelic-tinted music, but here they are. Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch deliver the goods at a bigger venue that had to be booked because of audience demand.

ART
Fourth Space

Uillinn, West Cork Arts, Skibbereen, Co Cork From Jan 31 westcorkartscentre.com
It's been a long, hard slog, but finally the new €3.57 million West Cork Arts Centre, Uillinn, opens its doors to the public with a group sculpture show, Fourth Space. All nine participating artists explore "space and materiality . . . in fluid, questioning and open-ended" ways. They are David Beattie, Karl Burke, Rhona Byrne, Maud Cotter, Angela Fulcher, Mark Garry, Caoimhe Kilfeather, Dennis McNulty and Liam O'Callaghan. The main gallery is named after the late James O'Driscoll, a key supporter of the project. The centre's official opening will be in the early summer.

R&B/SOUL
Macy Gray

Academy, Dublin 8pm €35 theacademydublin.com
Of course, there was a time when Macy Gray was performing at much larger venues than this, but them's the breaks. Irrespective of diminishing commercial returns, she remains a wholly distinctive R&B/soul singer worthy of your time. Special guest is Dubliner Lethal Dialect, whose album of last year, 1988, proved him to be a serious contender.
