There was a great buzz around the city last week with Denise Chaila, the Coronas, Paolo Nutini and all the great Feile na Greine gigs happening in venues big and small. And to top it off, several Limerick pubs came out as winners at the Pub of the Year Awards. Proving once again that Limerick is the best city in Ireland.
We’re a bit late to the party this week. Sometimes, life just get’s in the way. Our Pigtown Pick of the Week is the Slow Sunday which is taking place in Treaty City Brewery on Sunday.
