image The State Midnight Mass is back for 2009, featuring the DJ skills of the State.ie massive, Loreana Rushe, Niamh of Ham Sandwich, Messiah J and Gav from Super Extra Bonus Party. There will also be the famous lucky CD dip on the night. This year we’ll be teaming up with the good people from Love Music Hate Racism who’ll be looking to get you on board and maybe stick a couple of quid in their bucket. Come down, let us put faces to names, tell us what we did wrong (or right) this year and join us for the odd drink. The venue is Shebeen Chic on Great George’s Street and it all kicks off at 8.30pm and it’s FREE all night. Click here to RSVP.
