Yep, that’s me playing mandolin onstage with Mundy.
The Sarah Ryan benefit concert was a resounding success - the proceeds were enough that our favourite 6-year-old will be heading to the U.S. of A for the treatment that may someday allow her to walk.
Awesome. Fair play to Charlie McGettigan, Fiach, Mundy and especially to Emer (who [...]
Mundy plays charity concert in Athlone
By Seán | August 15th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
A good friend of mine gave me a shout yesterday to ask if I would mention a charity concert she’s arranging for Sarah Ryan, a handicapped girl from Birr she works with.
It all started with a phone call to Mundy, whom those of you not familiar with the Irish music scene will remember from [...]
Fund-raiser for the Athlone School of Music
By Seán | August 5th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
As anyone who was in the Palace Friday night can tell you - there is a whole lot of music to be had here in Athlone town.
With very few places to play, the GLUT of folks in attendance at the Athlone School of Music fundraiser event practically screams for a proper venue here in town. [...]
Kerbside at the Passion Lounge

You may recall that last month we (Kerbside, that is) played a show in Tullamore at a monthly event called The Passion Lounge Sessions. Well, true to their word, the lads down in Offaly have edited the video of the evening and selected one of our performances to make available on mySpace videos. While I [...]
5 Finger Discount at the Stables in Mullingar

So, last night the bean and I in our capacity as Five Finger Discount packed up the wagon and headed out to The Stables in Mullingar to play an evening of music.
It was a bit of a thrown-together affair and the bean and I were debating on the trip up whether we should split [...]
The Fabulous Bonker Boys

One of my initial firsthand impressions of Ireland and her music scene was attending some Fabulous Bonker Boys shows.
The Fabulous Bonker Boys are a collection of frighteningly talented, hard-playing, hard-drinking Irish musicians covering a range of Celtic music with rock ‘n roll sensibilities. Not the sort of band you want to meet in a dark [...]
Kerbside in the Castle
By Seán | July 16th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This past Saturday I think I had one of the most exhilarating musical experiences of my life.
Just look at the schoolmaster and I and all the RAWK in the picture to your left there - awesome. Cheers to local photographer David Walsh for a great shot.
To put it mildly, our gig in Athlone Castle [...]
Filmore East rocks Athlone Castle

They might not have been the band listed on the tickets. They might not have been able to start playing as early as advertised, but last night Filmore East, a Moate-based blues/rock band took to the just-erected stage in Athlone Castle and became the first rock band in Athlone history to play in the castle.
I [...]
Kerbside at The Passion Lounge

There’s a great thing happening down in Tullamore once a month called The Passion Lounge Sessions.
With a professional lighting, audio and video set-up, this intimate acoustic performance space attracts original Irish performers from all over the country. Kerbside (that is to say, yours truly and the wifey) were invited to play last Friday’s show in [...]
