Now, we're not forgetting the rest of you non-Dubliners! You might have seen that we published a list of St. Patrick's Week gigs taking place in the capital, but there's also a pretty varied range of live shows happening across the rest of the country. See for yourself below..
Carrie Underwood - Waterfront Hall Auditorium, Belfast - 15th March
Carrie Underwood is a massive star in the United States but her star has yet to surge to those heights outside of her native land. Still, her profile is big enough to fill the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, so she definitely has her fair share of fans on this side of the Atlantic. Underwood's trophy cabinet contains six Grammys among its many treasures - not bad for only having four studio albums in her discography.
2manydjs - Electric Gardens, Galway - 15th March
Former Soulwax members David and Stephen Dewaele are largely credited with creating the mash-up genre with their 2manydjs project, which Girl Talk took the ball and ran with. Mash-ups, for the uninitiated, are when parts of two or more songs and played simultaneously, creating a whole new tune and few do it better than the originals.
LAPD - Cork Opera House - 16th March
LAPD is the rather odd acronym used by traditional musicians Liam O'Flynn, Andy Irvine, Paddy Glackin and Donal Lunny for their music collective, who will play the Cork Opera House on St. Patrick's Eve. Expect to feel ludicrously Irish at this show, should you have the good sense to attend.
