Breton with support from Ghost Estates - The...
Breton.  These boys. They’re not just a band you’re gonna like. They’re a band you’re gonna wanna be. They are cool as fuck. And the best bit is, I don’t think they even know it. That’s fucking awesome.   Last nights show in The Academy 2 was Bretons’ first ever in Ireland, and as they said themselves, ‘chances are that probably everyone in...
