We simply must tell you about some serious designer/music bizniz going down in Dublin. Our good friends at Candy are putting on 3 nights of craziness starting tonight [Wednesday 4th October] at The Sugar Club with Ian Anderson from The Designers Republic, Swifty (Designer for Straight No Chaser and Typografix, etc.) & Trevor Jackson (AKA Playgroup and founder of Bite It Design). All of whom have never presented/played in Ireland before. It's going to be the bomb! Here's the full hype: Probably 3 of the most influential music based graphic designers of our generation, this will be the first time these guys have shared a stage so it's going to be incredible. As well as presenting their work they will all be taking questions and Trevor Jackson will be interviewed live by the CANDYMan himself Aidan Kelly. 10 Euro available on the door only, no prebooking necessary, rumours of this event being sold out are untrue, get there early though. Doors at 7, first speaker at 8. Shock'd Chat. Thursday 5th October upstairs in Solas, Wexford Street, Dublin. An informal meet and greet social event where you can come and chat to all people collaborating in the entire Shock'd project. Come along and say hello and maybe ask some questions, once in a lifetime stuff I tell ya... Admission FREE. Shock'd Club. Friday 6th October in The Village, Wexford Street, Dublin.
