Past The End is a musical fundraiser for Woman's Aid this Christmas at The Fumbally Cafe. It is also a nod to The End is Nigh which some of yee may remember from 2012, yup its been 10 years since Lisa Hannigan and others played to a sweet Christmas gang to mark the end of the Mayan Calendar and of all existence, which oddly never happened. Maybe we are safe, for now!!
Either way it's that time of year and these legends have decided to come together and put on a show for the benefit of less fortunate souls.
There will be no grub, but the bar will be open and sure who needs food at Christmas in Ireland. Have your dins at home!!
Tickets are €15 plus booking fees and VAT. All proceeds from the night will go to Woman Aids.
