    Competition: Win a pair of tickets to Entertainment.ie’s The Erics

    On this week’s Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM, I had the pleasure of speaking to John Balfe, Music Editor of Entertainment.ie about The Erics award ceremony, which take place on January 16th in The Village in Dublin. You can listen to the podcast here. John was kind enough to give me a pair of tickets for the listeners of Culture Cafe on 2XM.

    The night will consist of an award cermony along with full sets from Heathers and Delorentos. Tickets are €10 and available here. Full sets from both of these bands? where would ye get it?

    To be in with a shot of getting your hands on a pair of tickets all you have to do is tell me, if you could award a fictitious award what would it be? Answers can be totally comedic or entirely serious, that’s up to you, just leave them below!

    And make sure you like Culture Cafe and Entertainment.ie on Facebook. Competition closes midnight on Sunday 13th January. Bon Chance!

    COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED: STAY TUNED FOR THE WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!

    UPDATE: The Randomiser (ie my Other Half who is at work) picked out number 5 – Congrats Lorraine, you’re off to the Erics! We’ll be in touch. Thanks to everyone who entered and to Entertainment.ie for the tickets

    Edit: Turns out Lorraine already got her mitts on some tickets, round 2 and the number ‘drawn’ was 4, congrats Abe
