I was in Dublin city centre this morning for the first time in 12 months. The last time I was there was to see Jane Willow perform in the Cobblestone Pub on February 29th 2020. I never, not for a moment, thought things would turn out as they did. I was looking forward to a year full of gigs and excitement. I think we all know how that turned out. After doing what I had to workwise, I took a spin around Dublin before I headed home. I drove by the aforementioned Cobblestone Pub , the Voodoo Lounge , The Grand Social , The Workmans Club , The Sugar Club and ended up outside Whelans . I've had great nights out in each of those venues and in many more around the country! Dolans of Limerick, Crane Lane Theatre and Kino in Cork, Odd Mollies in Drogheda, the Moat Theatre in Naas, the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Visual in Carlow... The list goes on and on. 2017 and Helmet played Whelans. There I am partying with them after the s
The Phantom Menace… Everyone in the world wanted it to be a good movie, but the unfortunate reality is that, well it kinda was, well , crap… But that’s expectations for you, they don’t always live up to reality!
Where am I going with this you’re probably thinking… Well, I’ve been waiting for Aleigh to release some new music for a while now. I’ve seen her live many times, and really like what she does. So I had high expectations for this release and thankfully, unlike The Phantom Menace, her new single “Any Place” is a cracker! Check it out below.
Support on the night was from Grainne Hunt and Brendan Carvill, you should check both of them out also!
