Saw Eric Bell in Ballyshannon as well, he wrote this song for Rory Gallagher originally. He was great live. He played this song.. dedicated the performance to "his good friend" the late Gary Moore. Was the first time I'd heard the song, I really loved it.

Radiohead - Codex


New album "King Of Limbs", Sounds rather good. This is possibly my favourite track beside the single "Lotus Flower".

New song by the lads... Typical neo folk style, but they're good at it.

Not a great quality video, but you get the idea.

Preachers Son - X For Sandra


New Dublin based band. Every time I listen to them I notcie some other kind of influence in their music coming through. As they put it... “like a David Byrne, Scott Walker collaboration, or Queen’s greatest hits circa 1980 vs Morrison Hotel. A Led Zeppelin / Leonard Cohen crossover sort of Johnny Cash, Duane Eddie, Bowie doing Talking Heads kinda thing”.

Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half-awake in a Fake Empire..
