It's the Hideout for Halloween
It is probably the best Halloween gig going. And definitely great value.
Martin Myles and his staff in the Hideout have organised a fun party to celebrate the festival, a little bit early on Sunday October 30.
The event includes a 4-course dinner with a bottle of house wine for just a smidgin under €50 a couple. Live music and spot prizes included. The music is courtesy of Pat Kelly, who now has a regular Thursday night gig in the Hideout.
And here's the thing. If you're in fancy dress, the cost is just €39.95 per couple.
What is 'fancy' is quite open in interpretation.
Martin says Marion will wear witch garb during the day and will be a 'schoolgirl' at night.
Marion hasn't said yes as the Diary writes. But we suspect the comment will earn him a belt of a broomstick or a rap of a ruler, or maybe both.
The Diary will be there. But will you recognise us?
