What's on in Waterford: Live music, theatre, dance and more
Salsa Night takes place at The Haven next month
'Deise Dogs' is a heist comedy with a twist – the twist being that it’s set in Waterford City and the target of the heist is an iconic Waterford landmark! Written and directed by Derek Flynn, it tells the story of three young Waterford lads badly in need of some quick cash who come up with a hairbrained scheme to knock off one of Waterford’s most iconic buildings.
