I was due to see King Kong Company perform in Naas recently, but unfortunately, that festival got cancelled. So, when I was asked if I'd like to go see them in Dolans , Limerick, I obviously said yes! I hopped in the car after work last Friday and hit the road. A few stops alongt he way, and I was there by 19:30, in plenty of time to make the show. I've seen King Kong Company plenty of times now to know what to expect. I was curious to see how Bobby Fingers would perform though, what with him have a dodgy leg. I needn't have worried though. He bounced around the stage on one leg, waving a cane in the air like a mad man! Support on the night was from local hip-hop artist, Citrus Fresh , a new name to me, but I really enjoyed his set. Anyway, on to the photos:
I first saw Daithí back in 2015 in a tent on Achill Island, it was all part of the Battle for the Lake Festival. What a weekend of Irish music that was… Fond memories of that weekend!
Right, back to Daithí . I’d heard of him before, but never saw him play, so when the chance arose, off I went. Since then, I’ve been a big fan of what he does. His style of music is ever changing and growing, it’s never the same thing twice, which I love.
Anyway, today he premiered his latest track “In My Darkest Hour” and you can check it out in the video below. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
