Klezmer devotees and sometime Beirut collaborators A Hawk and A Hacksaw were in Dublin last weekend to promote Cervantine, their fifth studio LP. The duo – comprised of former Neutral Milk Hotel drummer Jeremy Barnes and violinist/vocalist Heather Trost – delighted the crowd with their lively fusion of Balkan gypsy folk and mariachi brass that evokes the dusty plains of their native New Mexico and the back alleys of Budapest (where the couple spent two years living) in equal measure.

Fiona Diffley's black-and-white shots from the band's Workman's Club gig perfectly suit the old-world feel of their music. Fiona also managed to grab a few snaps of Google-proof local duo The Natural History Museum, who supported on the night.
