So the summer festival season is ending. It’s time to hang up the poncho, put away the tent, and clean the wellies. That’s the end of live outdoor music then. But wait, no it isn’t, two festivals have chosen to brave this wet September and make like it’s July Wexford. Although you might not be […]
It is a beautiful day and days like these make you think of relaxing, lazying in the sun which in turn makes me think of music, and music and sunshine make me think of music festivals. As such it seems the opportune time to feature a number of Irish festivals that are coming up over […]
This is becoming a bit of an annual thing. My preview post of this weekends Kilkenny Roots Festival and the Southern Gothic Festival. Probably the two premier americana/roots festivals in Ireland. It is a pity they are happening the same weekend. Still depending on your tastes, there is plenty of choice and even no reason […]
Spring is in the air and a few international artists seem to be gigging about the world. A few are coming to Ireland so I have helpfully highlighted some below that might be worth seeing over the next few months. I hope this list is helpful. Print out and store in your wallet/handbag/manbag for occasional […]
Something I have done before which people seemed to enjoy so I thought, I’ll do it again. So the same as before this post is about some americana and alt-country artists that are visiting Ireland in the next month or two. Apologies to international readers for being so Ireland-centric but you might come across some […]
Just some thought on what you can find at Electric Picnic this weekend. There are a lot of native bands playing which is good to hear and even better, a lot of bands that were featured on Eirecana. So if you are going (which it seems most of the country are), here are a few […]
It’s always the way isn’t it? You wait fifty odd weeks for an americana/alt-country festival to appear and then two come along at once…on the same weekend. Both the Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots and the Southern Gothic Festival feature some amazing bands that you would rarely get to see in Ireland and now they are […]
I did this once before and it is worth doing again I think. Below is a solid but not exhaustive list of some interesting foreign artists coming to Ireland over the next month or so. Again apologies to international readers for being so Ireland-centric but sure you can always come and visit. And as well […]
I wasn’t sure whether to limit this sort-of post to Facebook or mention it here but seeing as it has extended to a post about what to do with your Saturday night if you are round the pale, I thought it best to collect all that information into one place. I’m sure you are aware […]
