Whelan’s with help from State, are putting on a ‘Ones To Watch’ mini-festival from January 12th – 15th (Weds – Sat).

It’s a very attractive €5 per night or €10 for the whole four nights. You will get the chance to witness a raft of up and coming bands from across Ireland play over 3 stages; Whelans, Whelans Upstairs and The Village. You will go along way to getting a better deal than this, did we mention there’s a free pint of Heineken too, if you’re into that sort of thing.

It’s from eight till late each night. The line up is after the jump.
