'Music In A Foreign Language' is Lloyd Cole’s first release in over 8 years, the last being ‘Love Story’ in 1995.

The Half Moon Theatre presents the Esbjörn Svensson Trio on Friday 13 February, 8pm, €20.
With a cult reputation now firmly secured, e.s.t. have established themselves as one of the most exciting jazz trios in the world. It is rare for a group to live up to its hype, but in e.s.t.'s case the hype is true. It's also true that they have achieved the virtually impossible feat of producing some of the most innovative, thoughtful and intensely rigorous music while at the same time attracting an audience outside the usual jazz one, from rock to the youngest hip-hop fans.
Booking: 021 427 00 22

Half Moon Theatre & Fèile Africa present Oumou Sangare on Wednesday 25th February, 8pm, €20/€22.
Like all the genuine 'greats' of any musical genre you may care to mention, Oumou Sangare owes her position in the West African Hall of Fame to something over and above the ability to sing well. Songwriter, social commentator, champion of women’s rights, spokesperson for her generation and her sex, Oumou is more than just a mere ‘singer’. She is something closer to a phenomenon because she embodies values and struggles many people care deeply about; because she is an African, and above all, an African woman, who speaks her mind without a trace of fear.
Booking: 021 427 00 22
Lobby Promotions presents Paul Kelly on Saturday 28 February, 8pm, €15.
"While he was (rightly) lauded for his ability to sing of injustice without ranting, or deal with the darker sides of human nature non-judgementally, often overlooked was the fact he could write a damn fine melodic hook to go with those words. But it's the lyrics that make Kelly's work special…his essential humanity and talent for a tune remain intact" – Rolling Stone
Booking: 021 – 427 00 22

Will
