Antero Lindgren playing live on Friday!
CLUB O’GAEA PRESENTS:
Antero Lindgren solo!
Antero Lindgren had been working long and hard on getting his first album ready and out and it was all rewarded on February 2012 when the debut, “Mother” was finally out and getting raving reviews and being called the best album of the year. “Antero’s music is about country, folk, AOR, echoes from tracks and instrumental rock. The drums are played to stadiums and the synthesised sound carpets are the gelatinous and radiant medium against which Lindgren’s warm baritone vibrates. Above it all you notice the strong and honest lyrics, which take you where you would not dare go yourself.
His second album Talking with the Dead (2013) is similar in texture as the first album, but has been tailor-made for long drives in the country side watching the emptying cities and the never-ending fields as you pass by.
With the albums Mother and Talking with the Dead while armed with a reputation as a memorable live act, Lindgren is ready to claim the title as the most promising artist in Finland, willing to take a step further and become an artist noticed outside of the Finnish borders.”

We’ll be having a few girls from Guinness coming to our bar on Friday, March 13th, to show you how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness. A perfect chance for you to try your hand at pouring a pint of Guinness and receiving a diploma for a perfect pour.
They’ll be here from 7pm to 11pm, so there’s plenty of time for all to try their skills.

Bar closed on Monday, 9th of March
O’Connell’s will be closed on Monday the 9th for a fixing/staff party day. The staff is determined to do some cleaning and fixing up in the bar, before heading out in the evening for some well reserved partying and hence the bar will be closed on that day, but we welcome you back again on Tuesday!

TRUE FINNS comedy show live on Thursday!
WHAT IS TRUE FINNS?
True Finns is a comedy show that explores Finnish culture and stereotypes in hopes to understand what life in Finland is like for both Finns and Foreigners.
Hosted by Trent Pancy (USA) and Tuure Pitkänen (FIN), True Finns is an interactive experience in the vain of a traditional Late Night Talk Show.
Through jokes, games, songs, and interviews, True Finns seeks to dissect and re-interpret the bizarre experiences that often occur as the result of cross-cultural miscommunication.
