Ailbhe’s Final Fling

The scene of the crimes

or those who feel that nights out in Greystones ain’t what they used to be, you might want to check out The Hot Spot – before it’s gone.

A mix of the mystic, the magical and music that matters, Ailbhe’s rockin’ ramshackle refuge parties like it’s always 1969.

From heritage rock to the happy house, this is the place in Greystones where rockers and dreamers of a certain vintage could let what’s left of their hair down.

And for the coming weeks, these Hot Spot gigs are going to get emotional. Even for a grumpy git like you…

FRI23JUNE23 8PM €24 Mack Fleetwood
Dublin’s Mack Fleetwood have been playing Fleetwood Mac’s impressive back catalogue over more nights than the real Fleetwood Mac at this point. So, they know what they’re doing. And who in the world doesn’t love Rumours? In fact, should you know anyone who claims they don’t, give them a slap across the back of the head from us. And a kick up the arts. Playing The Hot Spot on Friday, June 23rd, details here.

SUN25JUNE23 4PM €10 Full Circle: The Final Fling
Keeping it old school because, hey, they are old school, veteran Irish rockers Full Circle will be rolling back into town for The Hot Spot’s farewell gig in their current venue – and, given the rent around here, probably Greystones. Formerly known as The Greenbeats, John Keogh, Bernard Barratt, Brian Rickaby and Brian Lynch have rocked the bejiggers out of such iconic venues as Toner’s Pub, The Baggot Inn, The Sportman’s Inn, The Purty Loft and beyond. And now they’re about to rock the bejiggers out of The Hot Spot one last time. Tickets are €10, doors 4pm, and kick-off 5pm – details here.

If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, there’s always The Whale too, or our round-up of all the gigs hitting Greystones right here.
