The Mighty Stef’s Whelans residency kicks off this Thursday and NSMA faves Disconnect4 make a welcome return to Dublin in support.
I’m appreciating Upstairs at Whelans more as each week passes. It’s become a home from home for many bands with a host of stunning gigs since the new section of the venue opened at the start of the year. Displaying a true appreciation for Irish talent, variety seems to be the keyword with other resident guests so far including Adrian Crowley, David Turpin and The Minutes.  The format of three week instalments means musicians can establish a good live reputation and leave the doors open for word to spread. For a performer as strongly rooted to the notion of live rock’n'roll as Stef, the residency presents a grand opportunity to embellish on the layered talent apparent in latest record, Death Threats EP.
