Would someone be able to post a brief synopsis of the shows on here so I know what to go see? I'm too lazy to find out myself...

All in all, I'd say I prefer electrons to people.

Ok, this is really really long... but you asked for it! I've only got brief synopsis of some shows, but people can add more if they want. Just FYI all bar events are free! And each show is only a fiver. Also, if you buy 4 tickets you get the 5th free.
So here goes...

Tuesday 25 April
6pm - Launch party/ Opening of the Art Exhibition (Bar) -There is going to be free win!
7pm - Steel Magnolias (Main Stage) - Their synopsis is: Revolving around Truvy's Beauty Parlour, Louisiana, this is the story of the friendship of six Southern women. Filled with humour and heartbreak, these "Steel Magnolias" make us laugh and cry as the realities of their lives unfold.

The intertwined stories of 7 individuals in New York in the 1980's who all are faced with struggles of identity and faith and one spectacular Angel hoping to stop mankind from progressing and continuing humanity's suffering.
