It’s taking place in the Shebeen Chic on Georges Street from 8;30pm – 1:30pm and it’s FREE.

As it says on the poster, we have DJ sets from the State Massive, Loreana Rushe, Messiah J (sans The Expert), Niamh from Ham Sandwich and Gav from Super Extra Bonus Party.

There’ll also be a Lucky CD dip and prayers of the faithful by Love Music Hate Racism. We’d love to see you there. If you haven’t seen it already here are State’s Top 50 albums of the decade with our albums of 2009 to follow next week. Last year was brilliant and I got to play this Christmas classic…
