I’ve got my media-whoring hat on for this one (Costigan, you owe me a badge, I’m leaving you behind on the leaderboard dude) - I’ll be on the Sunday Grill on Beat 102-103FM (available in the South East region, and as of my last trip to Sligo, as far as Athlone anyway) this coming Sunday […]

I got my copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Xbox 360 this morning. See all y’all in a few months.
60 bucks in Gamestop, possibly cheaper in Argos, 75 bucks in Zavvi (Virgin) in Kilkenny… happy to part with 60 bucks for it though. All I’ve to do now is reclaim the TV.

I’m spending all day today (Sunday) on set with Saving J, who are shooting the video for upcoming single ‘Kick Off’ due for release late next month. While we’ve (myself and Alan Slattery of Mycrofilms) had our meetings with the band and have the plan for the shoot, I won’t reveal all just yet.

Culture Club presenter Jenny Nolan dropped in for the night and managed to get Bright Light Fiasco and Rich Wyman pegged down for interviews while Rob O’Connor […]

Spotting trains? Or perhaps Trainspotting?
It’s well advertised that the Devious Theatre Company are going to be performing Trainspotting in the Watergate Theatre this June 24 to June 28 in Kilkenny. While I’ll be involved heavily in the production side of the show, I’ll also be appearing on stage in the role of Tommy and have […]

Virtuoso Pamelia Kurstin plays and discusses her theremin, the not-just-for-sci-fi electronic instrument that is played without being touched. Songs include the classic “Autumn Leaves,” Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life” and a composition by David Mash, “Listen: the Words Are Gone.” Piano: Makoto Ozone.
