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 [...]
Shack Session

Ireland was showing her fine July weather so, although I had been looking forward to a walk out shackward yesterday evening, it was behind swishing windscreen wipers that I sat on my way to the Shack.
I got there a bit early and was joined by VE, who was swinging in for one after a rehearsal [...]
Sean’s Sunday Session

Another week, another Sunday in Sean’s Bar.
It was a lively, if sparsely attended, session. I left around 3pm to trade the instruments for a munchkin (just up from her nap), figuring to give wifey a break and munchkin a chance to enjoy a little music. What I didn’t figure on was an Australian television crew [...]
The Shack Session

For the first time in ages I almost didn’t attend this week’s Shack Session.
There I was, lying on the couch after a good feed feeling exhausted from early mornings and lack of sleep. It wasn’t that I forced myself to go, it wasn’t that I convinced myself it would be worth it - it was [...]
The Fabulous Bonker Boys
By Seán | July 19th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
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 [...]
Sean’s Sunday Session

After my Saturday night I awoke Sunday morning with a grin on my face and an itch in my fingers to grab the guitar again as soon as humanly possible. This could be why this entry has not one - not two - but THREE, count ‘em, THREE mp3s!! Booyah!
Kerbside in the Castle

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 [...]
Shack Session

A populous Shack session this week. As there had been a break in the rain and the evening was a mild one, I tipped out early with the instruments across my back for the session.
It wasn’t long before a good number of Arizonians (Arizonans??) arrived on the scene. The fingerpicker, the sherrif and ze germanz [...]
