It's gigs ahoy at Drogheda's new Star* venue this month, with The Undertones as well as Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club, Mickey Harte and Shirley Valentine starring Mary McEvoy

The Hot Press Newsdesk

The Undertones continue to reel in the years with an April 30 visit to Drogheda's new Star* venue.

Far from being yesterday's heroes, last year's Get What You Need album proved there's plenty more where 'Teenage Kicks, 'My Perfect Cousin', 'Jimmy Jimmy', 'Here Comes The Summer' et al came from.

Also upcoming this month at the venue are Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club (April 10); Mickey Harte (24); and Shirley Valentine starring Mary McEvoy (April 26 to 28).
