I wasn’t expecting to come face-to-face with such a mindblowing kaleidoscopic array of people’s memories of gigs, buying records and interactions with the band as experienced @spindizzyrecord yesterday at signing of Horslips at the BBC. Thanks so much👏🙏✌️
Thank you @martylyricfm and thanks for taking the time, Appreciated🙏🙂
Just finished, gorgeous read, well done Eamonn Carr. Listen again to our recent chat. rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/…
Jurica Pavičić's Red Water is excellent. A missing person in Croatia in 1989 goes on to inspire a sequence events, reaching a devastating conclusion in 2015. From China to Ireland, truly a worldwide account. Unputdownable. @bitterlemonpub

BOTD 1925 Jimmy Scott London, October 1999. Photo by Laurie Lewis. I saw Jimmy in Vicar St , Dublin around the same time. Wonderful beyond words. laurielewis.co.uk/index.html

NEW EPISODE of Three Castles Burning. A tribute to the mohair suited bands who brought such joy to 1960s Ireland. From Van Morrison to Rory Gallagher, it all began in the Showbands.... podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/moh…
Here's the bandcamp link to our new album: sonsofsouthernulster.bandcamp.com/album/through-…
This evening's entertainment. Bring Her Back. More of a shocker than a horror film, Sally Hawkins is pleasingly demented as the body count mounts. Nervous laughter all round, well worth seeing in the cinema. Thanks @SonyPictures for the invite.

Eamon Carr’s Pure Gold isn’t an interview book - it’s a time capsule. From J.P. Donleavy’s wild anecdotes to Brenda Fricker’s Oscar‑night memories, each page glows. Signed copies: pure, literal gold in-store now!
Prong-tastic show last evening at the Project. Had to dash afterwards but it was great to share the enjoyment with so many beforehand. Super program, in the form of a special issue 16 of 1980s journal VOX. @ItsTheProngs @projectarts



@JJohnFoyle has spoken……
Lots of kicks in the balls, f-ing & blinding and culchies drinking . The Sons of Southern Ulster ' s new album , Through The Bridewell Gate , is as visceral & splenetic as ever, with a directness that other acts can only aspire too. @OfSons25108 sonsofsouthernulster.bandcamp.com/album/through-…
