Sive just recently released her latest album, ' We Begin in Darkness ', and what a superb album it is! Every album deserves a launch night and that's what tonight, in the Workman's Club Cellar , was all about, and what a night it was! With the backing of a full band, we were treated to a superb night featuring songs from the aforementioned We Begin in Darkness, Sive (EP) and more. Sive is always gigging, so if she comes to your local venue, I'd really recommend checking her out! Now for some photos:
This was very much a last minute decision to go see Johnny Marr. I had intended keeping it quiet this weekend, but sure… Well, it’s Johnny Marr and he was playing the intimate setting of the National Stadium in Dublin, so I went.
Johnny has a huge back catalogue to choose from. Obviously he has his own solo material stretching back years. He also plays select songs from The Smiths song book and to cap it all off, he throws in a few from his Electronic days also!
The crowd was a very eclectic mix with a massive range of ages. Just goes to show that his music transcends the boundaries of time!
Anyway, as last minute decisions go, this was a damn fine one. I wonder where I’ll end up next!
