Jim Carroll's blog:

"Banterowe’en: the next Banter takes place on Saturday night from 8.30pm at the Twisted Pepper (Middle Abbey St., Dublin). “90s vs 00s” will see Dublin techno kingpins Francois (repesenting the 1990s) taking on Sunil Sharpe (repping the 00s) about which decade produced the most thrilling sounds and nights out in the capital city. As always, admission is free but capacity in the room is limited so please fill out the form here to guarantee your place."
