(next door to the Shebeen’s backdoor!) on Tuesday evening June 15th at 8pm.
I think this this is his second visit to Dublin and Nora Artola who saw him ( Nora knows her uke players!) wrote the following
“My mate Paul has organised the king in the Odessa on the 15th of june… I saw him a few years back in the international with
the whole band and it was just great! A bit of an event… and Justine will be supporting him……
The admission is just 8 euros…..As its not often we have visiting uke players performing in Dublin – here’s your chance!
