Too bad that 2013's most raucous St. Patrick's Day gig has arrived a couple of weeks late, but at least your liver should have had time to recover by then. Now bigger than ever, The Wild Rover will be spreading itself across five venues in Shibuya's Dogenzaka district this year, with a musical bill ranging from Irish-influenced acts like Oledickfoggy and Johnsons Motorcar to not-remotely-Irish party bands including Asakusa Jinta and Katteni-Shiyagare.
