• Review: Camden Crawl Dublin 2012

    Team Goldenplec was out on the mean streets of Dublin, pounding the beat and chasing down the best music on offer at the Camden Crawl Dublin 2012. There was acts all over the city centre, from Whelan’s down to Twisted Pepper. It was musical mayhem at its finest as the sibley of the original Camden Crawl in London made its début. We [...]

  • Review: Vantastival Festival 2012

    Review: Vantasival Festival 2012 Review: Ros Madigan Photography: Sean Smyth The 1st of May is widely recognized by society for being the first day of summer.

Louth under the beautiful backdrop of the domineering Cooley [...]

The initial pang of irritation on hearing that Londoners Kitty, Daisy & Lewis were to play on this night of forbidden pints quickly dissipated on discovering it was a Bank Holiday.

  • Review: No Sozopol – Now That We Have Your Attention

    Review: Justin McDaid Between the years 2005-2011, there existed a band by the name of No Sozopol. This band no longer exists – at least not in the form that it did for the recording of their one and only album ‘Now That We Have Your Attention’, comprising brothers Gareth and Niall Ebbs along with Brian Leonard. This is a [...]

  • Euro 2012: It’s Jedward vs Damien Dempsey and friends

    It’s May, it’s nearly time for Ireland to step up to the Euro 2012 finals in Poland and do the country proud. It wouldn’t be a massive football tournament if we didn’t have a song leading us into battle. Put Em’ Under Pressure sets an almost impossibly high standard to meet but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth having a go. Two [...]
