Upstairs in The Loft, Housequake – a collective of the country’s best funk, soul and blues musicians, will perform Prince’s best-known hits and most loved fan favourites. After the band there’ll be Purple and Gold, Keith Fennell (Hipdrop Records) Dennis Cassidy (The Record Spot) and Danny G on the decks with some amazing vinyl treats in store.

This will follow a panel discussion on the life and legacy of Prince with contributions from Today FM DJ Kelly Anne Byrne, Irish Times music correspondent Brian Boyd (who interviewed Prince for the paper) and more guests t.b.a

Downstairs will see a screening of Purple Rain followed by sets from 2 of Dublin’s best known DJs Kelly Anne Byrne and Nialler 9

Another good Prince night out.

Next one for me is the Purple Rain tribute band in Vicar Street on 17 May.

We must find some way for the Irish fans to keep in touch
