This weekend sees the start of a unique series of concerts taking place under canvas in Dublin's Marlay Park. Seven intimate shows spread across three weeks in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains - and you don't even have to worry about the weather staying dry.

The season throws up some interesting lineups (we're totally bringing the oul' lad along to Roger Daltrey next week) but without doubt the two picks of the bunch are happening this first weekend. On Saturday (July 23), Villagers are set to headline a seriously impressive bill that also includes Beach House (no, that's not a typo!), Stornoway and Lisa O'Neill. The following night will see Joanna Newsom returning to the capital, following her Grand Canal Theatre performance last year. Support comes from folk legend Bert Jansch, as well as local lad James Vincent McMorrow and Scottish songwriter Alasdair Roberts.

We've got a pair of tickets for each of these two shows to give away, courtesy of promoters MCD. All you've got to do to be in with a chance of winning a pair is email paulharrington@raggedwords.com with the answer to this disturbingly simple question:

 

What county is Marlay Park situated in?

 

One entry allowed per person, and don't forget to state your preferred show. We'll notify the lucky winners at 5pm on Friday. Even if you don't manage to win, ticket prices range from €34 for Villagers to €39/€44 for Joanna Newsom (get them here) - serious value for money when you consider the strength of both lineups.

Here's hoping she'll play this one on Sunday:
