Niall Connolly April 2nd 7pm- Biggest NYC gig yet We Need You.
Hey folks,
I am playing the beautiful new room at Rockwood Music Hall (Stage 2) on Saturday April 2nd at 7pm. This is a definite step up for me in terms of size and stature of the venue. I would really love to repay the Rockwood Music Hall for all their faith in me with a huge turnout of brilliant people. There's no cover charge, it's a short 45 minute gig with a 7pm sharp start. This is a big one and you helped me get it, I'd really love to see you there...
