They say: "We are delighted that Elephant Sessions will be bringing a perfect ending to our time at 122b Academy Street.

"A band that symbolises everything Ironworks, they grew up with the venue catching shows, starting their musical journey locally and ultimately selling out their own events here with their progressive blend of intricate tunes and engulfing guitars with a bass and drum heavy backline – their music combining the very best of trad, funk and electronica.

"This is it, the last night Ironworks will be open at 122b Academy Street. We’re going to be celebrating all of the great nights we’ve all had together in what will be a show to remember with Elephant Sessions drawing it all to a fantastic close.

"We hope you can make it."
