I did this last year as well, went completely nuts with gigs and events in the autumn. This year is no different in that regard. So many great concerts to go to, so little time to do it in.

Here's what I've got lined up so far:

• Roots Manuva
• Wallis Bird
• Laura Izibor
• Documentary on legendary Sun Ra
• Milosh (He's like the one-man Canadian version of Future 3)
• Daedelus + Steinski + Poets of Rhythm
• ?uestlove DJ Set
• Nouvelle Vague
• Lykke Li

Not to forget that Choice Cuts is hitting us with an alternative to the usual stale Xmas parties with soul and funk for your soul during December. Hypnotic Brass Band is playing, Sweet Charles (again), and The Sweet Vandals. Well worth checking out all of them, if you need a reason to shake your booty during December.

Unfortunately, My Morning Jacket just cancelled their show, due to Jim James being injured. Let's hope he recovers soon, so they can come to Dublin for a warm welcome.
