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 [...]
Brendan Hickey’s On The Verge
By Seán | May 23rd, 2007 | Add a Comment »
Brendan Hickey can be found every Wednesday night in Dublin’s Sin E (pronounced “shin - A [as in 'hay']“) hosting his evening of original music. If you happen to be in Dublin on a Wednesday night, this is definately someplace to stop in off the regular tourist circuit.
Brendan also hosts a Thursday evening radio [...]

Excuse me - Robert Sarazin Blake (those cursed tabloids!).
You’ll remember my recent post on Robert Blake’s Bog Lane show, but Mr Blake is 2/3 of the way through his Irish tour at this point and conducted a very well-received show at the Shack Pub in Athlone this past Saturday.
I managed to get some video of [...]
Robert Sarazin Blake in Ballymahon

Hailing from the most northwest corner of the most northwest city in the most northwest state in the lower 48 United States, he comes once, maaaybe twice a year to Ireland: a troubadour lugging a massive, but necessarily rugged, white flight case for his guitar. He carries one set of clothes - slacks, shirt, vest, [...]
Irish Artist - Colm Lynch

For such a small country, Ireland has a ridiculously disproportionate number of internationally famous musicians and bands. What is it about this small, rain-soaked island that breeds such excellent music?
It’s that vein of thought I’ve been exploring in this, a series of profiles on prominent Irish musical artists and groups. Ireland is a great place [...]
Sean’s Sunday Session

This sunday was the Sean’s Bar session with Amber Moon. These sessions are getting more popular recently and you never know who you might find gathered around the table on a sleepy Sunday afternoon. Wifey, the munchkin and I headed down for the company and the craic.
This week we had a fantastic banjo and [...]
Music in the dark

Sometimes I just love this country. Last night I was down at Sean’s Bar loading some musical gear into the pub when the lights flickered . . . and went out. As there are candles on the tables at Sean’s and the lights are kept intentionally low, it didn’t plunge everyone into complete darkness. Curious [...]
Roisin Dubh

It was a wet one last night.
At the end of the slick roads we drove last night was Galway and The Roisin Dubh. It being our first time playing this prestigious venue we didn’t really know what to expect. Truth be told , the last time I’d stopped in at the Roisin Dubh was years [...]
Sean’s Sunday Session

Well, this Sunday the session in Sean’s was truly something unusual.
As this weekend was the Irish International Barbershop convention (and not a couple of weeks ago, as I had thought), we were surprised by a group of lads who stopped into Sean’s Bar and gave us a couple of tunes. After repeated requests to sing [...]
Bill Coleman and Kerbside at the Roisin Dubh tonight!!

I woke this morning with a buzz in my brain.
Tonight we’re playing The Roisin Dubh (pronounced “ROE-sheen duhv”) in Galway with Bill Coleman. The Dubh is a pretty prestigious venue, hosting all kinds of internationally famous acts. Admittedly, we’ll be playing the upstairs stage, but it’s still super exciting.
It’s been a while since wifey [...]
