On 15 Feb anniversary

Tuesday 15 February is the 2nd anniversary of the enormous anti-war marches in Dublin and elsewhere. To mark the occasion, the Galway Alliance Against War is holding a benefit gig in the Roisin Dubh, Dominick-street. Proceeds will go towards the legal defence of five anti-war activists (Pitstop Ploughshares), who face a judge and jury in early March. Performers confirmed so far include Carmel Dempsey and her band, Steve Hanks, Tony Small and Rod Goodall. The gig will start at 8.30 - tickets are 8 euros (5 for non-waged). We would urge you to support this event - both as an act of solidarity and as a means of renewing contact with the anti-war movement. It promises to be an enjoyable night

Ciaron O'Reilly, one of the 5 Pit Stop Ploughshares, will be speaking at the event in Galway.
