Today Guinness announced the line-up of artists that will be part of Arthur’s Day 250th anniversary celebrations. But until the actual anniversary festivities on 24th September 2009, Guinness launched a preview right here in Dublin at Oliver St. John Gogarty’s Pub.
With live acts from both The Chapters and Noah and the Whale, the afternoon swelled with excitement for the approaching celebration of Arthur’s Day. In September over 60 artists will be performing throughout Dublin and around the world as well. Today’s event provided a taste of what these gatherings will be like on that day.
Both The Chapters and Noah and the Whale added to the feel of an intimate pub setting that the Arthur’s Day celebration hopes to achieve. Oliver St. John Gogarty’s upstairs venue enhanced the experience of grabbing a pint of Guinness and listening to a band or artist. Not many people get to enjoy such a treat, but come September people all over Dublin, the country, and the world, will have an opportunity to do so.
The bands were great! Check out their performances:

In addition to the Arthur’s Day celebrations was the focus of the Arthur Guinness Fund. So sign the Guinness posters in a local pub and Guinness will donate €2.50 for every signature. Easy enough, right?
