Pioneering electronic musicians are rare these days, so it’s a treat to welcome to Ireland the people behind the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, which created the soundtracks for many BBC shows, and has influenced the likes of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Horrors and Orbital – to name but several.
DARLINGS
Villagers
Olympia Theatre, Dublin 8pm €30/€27.50

So far this year, there has been nothing to beat the purity and honesty of Villagers' new album, Darling Arithmetic, but how will Conor O'Brien's serene songs from this album fare within the terrific tumult of a band show? We're looking forward to whatever happens, frankly.
ART

Two artists who make meditative landscape works in a fine Co Clare venue. Sara Foust’s studies of Liscannor Bay have an allegorical dimension related to our life experience. Cormac O’Leary sees layers of memory and personal meaning in vast natural expanses.
