jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 20/09/2025NewDad's Alter is full of catchy, snappy tunes. Fair dues to them for saying its about tough times. They've channelled it in a sophisticated, souped-up version of their earlier work. Rewarding stuff. #vinyl 010
jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Double delight- new albums today from NewDad and Divine Comedy. Waiting now for NewDad instore at Spindizzy. @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social @spindizzyrecords.bsky.social 110
jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Exuberant, joyous show by The Beths tonight at The Button Factory. However, a highlight was the much more intimate Mother, Pray For Me, from their latest album. Onwards & upwards, so good to see them progressing over the years, from the Grand Social onwards. @thebeths.bsky.social 010

jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Julia Kelly's Still is totally enthralling - I read the c.150 pages in two sessions. A memoir centred on her mother's death, it depicts the life & foibles of a family in incredible detail. Very much a product of their environment, 20th century Dublin. 1/2 @newislandbooks.bsky.social 111

jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Superb show tonight in Wexford by The Waterboys. Tight ensemble, doing workouts of the favourites , along with a selection from the current album about Dennis Hopper, all too brief as I'd gladly have heard it in full. Mike's vision is as thrilling as ever to behold. @waterboysmusic.bsky.social 111

jjohnfoyle @jjohnfoyle1.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Public housing designed by Herbert Simms in the 1930s looked particularly handsome in tv series Mix Tape, as Dublin posed as Sheffield. Marden Dean was the cinematographer for series. 000
