Son of Crowded House's Neil, accomplished songwriter and all 'round nice guy Liam Finn will play his second Dublin date this December.

The bushy-bearded 24-year-old, who released his debut album 'I'll Be Lightning' in April, will play Whelan's on December 7th.

Don't expect drab, folky mutterings from his live shows, though - Finn's use of pedals and loops keeps things interesting during his gigs.

Tickets are €16.50 and on sale this Friday, August 29th, from usual outlets.
