Glasswerk Recommends: DEAF Fundraiser

• 23rd Jul 2009

DEAF, aka the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival comes out of hiding a little early this year with a special fundraiser event in Temple Bars’ Meeting House Square, which will be temporarily roofed for the night.

Taking place on Friday August 21st, the line-up features 8 of the best live acts and bands in the country, for a paltry €10 admission fee. That's €1.25 per band according to our math (and the DEAF's website agrees). Due to difficulties this year in securing sponsorship & the subsequent cuts in arts funding; all of the 8 acts playing are doing so for free.

And here's the line-up in full:

Dublin Electronic Arts Festival present

The Jimmy Cake

It all takes place at The Meeting House Square (with temporary roof & full bar for evening)
