The weekend has rolled around again and to save you the bother James Kavanagh's put together his list of the five best things to do in Dublin this weekend!
1) Spike Cello Festival 2017, Feb 10th - 12th all over Dublin
The Spike Cello Festival (this is the first one!) is gonna be a three-day programme of cello-related events happening 10th to 12th February, in various venues across Dublin. The festival celebrates the diverse use of the cello across non-classical music styles and genres from Jazz, Traditional, Folk, Pop and Rock, to cello yoga and the “cello-clowning” of US cello performance artist, Rushad Eggleston.

2) The Typographic Dante, Feb 10th - April @ The National Print Museum
Sounds heavy, but also sounds v interesting for anyone interested in print or poster design! "The Divine Comedy is a poem by Dante Alighieri. Written between 1308 and 1320, it describes Dante’s journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, and, at a deeper level, represents the souls journey towards God. The Typographic Dante is a series of typographic illustrations created as a response to this unfolding narrative." More info: https://www.nationalprintmuseum.ie/
3) Film Fatale Vintage Party, Friday @ Number 22
To celebrate six years of decadent glamour, Film Fatale is hosting a vintage birthday extravaganza in Number 22, a new late-night supper club and theatre located on the site of the Crystal Ballroom. Dress up in your finest vintage-style attire, pay homage to the golden era of cinema and strut your stuff under the vintage disco ball. More info: https://filmfataleevents.com/
