Gig of the Week: Tune-Yards at Whelans
This weeks gig of the week could have been any number of the array of stars on Irish soil this week. It could have been Paul Simon playing in Vicar Street on the 20th. That however is sold out and doesn’t need a plug. It could have been Take That in Croker, again sold out [...]
Gig Of The Week: Forbidden Fruits 2011
When thinking of gig of the week this week I thought, well what about Andrea Corr at Vicar Street, nope that’s cancelled, oh I know, what about Cold Pro festival, oh wait no that’s cancelled…. Wow what a week for music, I really hope it doesn’t become a running trend. So the real first thought [...]
Gig of the Week: Suede at The Olympia
Sorry for the two week wait for the gig of the week, we had a bit of an overhaul of the site and whilst everything looks prettier we are a bit behind so were slowly catching up. This week we have decided the pretty cool option of seeing Suede at The Olympia. They played tonight [...]
Gig of the Week: The Commitments at The O2
This one was a simple choice really and it falls under the same category of the Simply Red recommendation we made last year because you might not get another chance to see them. Before this gig was announced it was largely thought seeing this again live was something of myth and when it got announced [...]
Gig of the Week: Choice Music Prize
Well this week I might be slightly biased due to being heavily involved in my role as a judge for the Choice Music Prize this year. It’s an honour that the amazing guys behind the awards deemed us of enough note to be considered for the role and we thank them for the opportunity. So [...]
Gig of the Week: Ben Folds at Vicar Street
What an immense gig week. In a week where we have Ben Folds, Thin Lizzy, Mogwai, British Sea Power and My Chemical Romance to name but a few big names in town it was tough to plump with one. What made me plump with Ben Folds was having seen him before at Glastonbury he absolutely [...]
Gig of the Week: The Digital Socket Awards
There is plenty of top gigs on this week. I’d like to say I was at pains trying to decide what our Gig Of The Week would be, however it was one simple choice. 26 Bloggers coming together to judge in the Digital Socket Awards to cast a light on the top music in Ireland [...]
Gig of the Week: Imelda May at Vicar Street
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
