LucyFest 2014, Hagues Bar, 8.30pm

An amazing music event being put on by two brothers the Quill knows personally, Eddie and Ash Smith. Eddie’s little daughter Lucy was born earlier this year with a rare liver condition called Biliary Artresia. There is as yet no cure and it is the no. 1 reason for liver transplantation in children in the Western World. Not only is this a fundraiser for the charities that have helped little Lucy, it is a who’s who of the local music scene, with Smoking Tongue, Nasa Assassin, St Hellfire, Buck Eejit, Johnny Vans and Nathan Miller taking turns to either melt your face or soothe your soul. There are loads of great raffle prizes up for grabs and it’s only a fiver (min. donation) in. Check out the Facebook event page for more details and show your support!
