T’is beautiful to see a fantastic resurgence of Cork bands on the landscape. Here is Babyrat. Catch them in the Savoy before they play sold-out shows in the 3Arena. You have been warned! :-) m.youtube.com/watch?v=xTLF...

Oasis documentary is in the cinema. Will it feature Bishopstown Court Dunnes, where they did a bit of shopping in 1996 when they were in Cork for two nights at Páirc Uí Chaoimh? (FACT!) They could have given yours truly a lift to the second night of the concert! Their loss obviously…

Very happy to announce an Ireland tour this September! My first headline run of dates in a country that has shown my music so much support - I can't wait. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10AM, so set those alarms and tell your pals xx

On this day in 1975, ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ was released. What began as a rock musical became the definitive midnight movie, building a cult following that still packs theaters five decades later.

The day Adam Clayton became new best friends with me,10/05/25. (He didn’t know it at the time, I’m still working on it - Jokes aside,he couldn’t have been more nice signing my Two Hearts Beat as One single.) On a side note, I did invite him to my house for tea. He politely declined.

Nice surprise to see this in Limerick (ignore the foliage photobombing the pic, dumb reason). Saw The Cranberries in the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet, Cork, 04/06/1995, they cancelled the Cork City Hall gig on the 27/12/1994. Cork City Hall tickets were still valid for Green Glens gig.
