Iconic Dublin pub is hosting free 'Happy Hour' for Paul Heaton's birthday celebrations

It's Happy Hour again for Paul Heaton fans as the singer is offering free drinks at a whopping 60 pubs as part of his birthday celebrations.

The Housemartins frontman had originally planned to visit a number of bars during a bicycle tour on his 60th birthday on Monday, May 9.

But due to recording delays caused by the pandemic, the English musician will be putting a certain amount of money behind the bars of 60 pubs across Ireland and the UK.

Of the 60, there's one pub in Dublin that's taking part in the celebrations and that's Kehoes in the city centre.

Speaking to his fans on Twitter, Paul said: "Both regulars and yourselves can enjoy a birthday drink on me (until the money runs out or the bar runs dry!).

"The hope is to bring people together on the day, whilst recognising that many folk who bought my records or showed me support over the years could do with a wee party as we come out of Covid and hit potential financial struggles."
