^^ The Parlour ^^
WHAT IS ‘IT’S NOT THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS!’?
Is mass hysteria making you feel like YOU’RE the one going crazy? Do you long for the days where you could talk politics and still have a pint together afterwards? Do you watch commentators losing their minds over nothing and think: ‘It’s hardly the Cuban Missile Crisis!’?
Well you’re right – it’s NOT the Cuban Missile Crisis!
Laughing hasn’t been banned – YET – so while it’s still legal, join Paddy Cullivan as he hosts a monthly satirical live discussion with regular panellists Larissa Nolan, Karl Deeter and some very special guests. Leave your ideological baggage at the door and enter a world where normal discourse is possible in the lovely Parlour Bar above Whelan’s Wexford St. As well as debating the big issues and movements of our time, there will be comedy slideshows, performances, audience participation and musical interludes. Let’s disagree agreeably and remember…‘It’s NOT the Cuban Missile Crisis!’
Special guests on Wednesday February 20th – Mick McNiffe, Stella O’Malley, Barbara McCarthy, an amazing surprise musical guest and more!!

KOJAQUE
‘Deli Daydreams’ 1 year anniversary show w: full live band plus Kean Kavanagh (live) / Soft Boy DJs In association with MCD _ Main Venue _ In celebration of the 1 year anniversary of his critically acclaimed release, Deli Daydreams, Kojaque will perform the Choice Music Prize nominated album live with full band at an intimate show in Whelan’s Dublin on Saturday 23rd February 2019. Dublin rapper Kojaque is an artist steadily gaining ground on the Irish and international music scene, thanks to his production style, stunning visuals, and biting lyrics. Co-founder of independent label Soft Boy Records, Kojaque mixes sampling and jazz beats with dynamic, poetic lyrics, showcasing life as a modern Dubliner. An established film-maker and visual artist as well as a musician, Kojaque’s multi-media performances and projects are unlike anything else in Irish hip-hop; brutal, honest, and beautiful at once. With a vast range of work produced both independently and with Soft Boy Records, Kojaque’s influences range from MF DOOM to Stevie Wonder. Kojaque has worked with notable Irish producers such as JarJarJr, GAPTOOF, and Wastefellow, and his influence on Irish hip-hop is palpable. Deli Daydreams DELI DAYDREAMS is a conceptual project chronicling a week in the life of a Deli worker. The project meanders through the daydreams of KOJAQUE, the main protagonist, as he contemplates love, life and loneliness in the lead up to the annual work Christmas party. The project is a vignette of working life in Dublin, mundanity, madness and escapism. “..this small island’s greatest, most heartfelt, collection of hip-hop tracks to date” – Goldenplec #1 Irish Album of the year 2018 – Nialler 9 “The year’s finest Irish release” – Una Mullally, The Irish TimesTICKETS – SOLD OUT
