This week with I’ve been listening to a lot of albums to do with the Choice Music Prize. It’s a tough listen because the decisions are going to be tough. So it might have to fall under the term of research because she is one of Irelands brightest talents and is meant to be absolutely unbelievable live. Imelda May takes [...]

Gig of the Week: The Certain Three
Were not blessed with huge amounts of gigs this week so it means choosing a gig of the week was that bit easier (for once). In the end it came down to one versus three. We were either going to go with Mike Got Spiked in the Workman’s Club or The Certain Three in The Workman’s Club ( well aren’t [...]
Gig of the Week – Villagers at Vicar Street
The gig scene quietens up a bit around Christmas and rightly so, it’s a time for family and friends but there is a great opportunity here to catch the Irish act you’ve been meaning to catch for weeks and months as some top Irish acts prove that rest is for the week. Gig of the week this week goes to [...]
Gig of the Week: Meatloaf at The O2
This week I had no choice, there was numerous great shows this week but only one was ever going to get my gig of the week nod. I’ve managed to miss him live three times now and I am not about to let it become a 4th gig straight, god only knows how long we will have him out touring [...]
Gig of the Week: Heathers at Whelans
This week were thinking that it might be time to revisit Heathers again with a gig on December 11th in Whelans. We reckon this will be an awesome show and as such gets our nod for gig of the week. This new show will actually have 3 new musicians to the show in addition to the two talented ladies, The [...]

Gig of the Week: Goldfrapp at The Olympia Theatre
Goldfrapp plays in The Olympia Theatre this week on Friday 26th November and Saturday 27th November and having caught her at Oxegen this year I can honestly say this is one of the few acts I can honestly say puts on a really good show. The music aint bad either. If your looking for something on Saturday night then definitely [...]
Gig of the Week – Jimmy Eat World at Tripod
They are back again and this time I’ve found time to make it our gig of the week. Long have I been a fan of Jimmy Eat World since the days of Witness 2002 when they rocked the main stage before the Foo Fights and The Frames. That was a day and a half. Back in the country after an [...]

They are on their final tour together as Simply Red as Mick Hucknall attempts to go it alone and do his [...]
