Fantastic! Here’s some fair-minded non partisan commentary from ‘Effin’ Eddie Moroney. It’s a long video but there’s some gems in there – “That bollox of a referee”
Also confirms that the coldest place on the […]

I usually avoid the sports threads, but I couldn’t help but think of RTE’s Jimmy Magee and his famous minimalist take on this…

One of my favourites is the original cover of John Hiatt’s ‘Bring The Family’ – but it’s unlikely to get a mention…

Armed Forces maybe?

The Undertones in support of Elvis Costello in Galway (2015?) Probably the only time I felt a band were TOO loud.

I remember a gig by John Martyn in the National Stadium in Dublin around the time of ‘Saphire’ – […]

I think I gave the only votes two particular acts, which surprised me as I was sure that they would be on the AW radar.
Seth Lakeman’s A Pilgrim’s Tale – Good album overall, no standout tracks – better treated as […]

Thanks Lodestone and also a tip of the hat to @niallb for flagging the BLH album earlier in the year.

A very happy and safe 2021 to everybody.

With the caveat that I haven’t yet heard Macca, Laura Veirs, […]

I’d like to nominate this – a wonderful song

Well I only got around to it last year, Jack, so that makes two of us…

That reminds me…I’m still waiting for the second Little Village…

Now that I think of it Junior, I’m pretty sure there was a roadie or two feeding a long cable as they made their way around the audience.
Max the Dog commented on the post, And here’s another! 2 months, 4 weeks ago

I have 6 or 7 of those including my likely choice for album of the year

I’ve heard of very few of them and own only one – Baxter Dury. And even that, reasonably good album that it is, may not make my twenty. I’m too old and tired to start investigating these acts with weird names.

Don’t know a thing about them but any live clips I’ve seen are fun and Dave G seems to have taken on the mantle of ‘nicest man in rock’
Max the Dog commented on the post, Boomtown Rats 3 months, 1 week ago

Yes,at the time it was big news. It didn’t cause the collapse of catholic dominated Ireland but it was one of many things over a couple of decades that flagged change. I and some friends had tickets for the […]

Certainly, Chris. There’s a thread earlier in the year when they released their new stuff. I posted about the doc there as it was shown on RTE a few months ago. The Rats were a huge deal at the time. New album is […]

I’ll be buying it as well, his album earlier this year was better than I’d expected and will feature strongly in my year-end list.
