A mix of different styles and talent from the likes of Dave Long (R6), Barry English (I’ll eat your face), […]

I did a post two weeks ago about my photoshoot with the Swingin’ Blue Cats and I just got a message this evening to let me know that the guys have just set up a new website, www.swinginbluecats.com.
The site is in the early stages yet, launched just two days ago, but it features some of […]

Everything is taking a bit of a backseat at the moment as I try to keep my head down and get some study done for my exams which begin next week, I must admit it’s driving me up the wall at this stage. So a quick blog just to add a couple more bands to […]

I’ve been working with Itchy Trigger Finger for nearly a year and a half now, travelling on the road with the guys and constantly sticking a camera in their faces. It’s been so long since I’ve actually been in the crowd as a spectator when they took to the stage.
Tuesday night saw ITF head to […]

Last night saw my birthday celebration, we were calling it Rossification 2007, and like every year the usual hardcore friends shined through to help me leave a dent in the last Saturday night I would spend on the good side of 25.It started in the house, a couple of beers with Daw, listening to random […]

When the gallery got restored a few weeks ago I got busy trying to catch up on things after 6 weeks without it. I added new photos and new galleries, aswell as trying to get the myspace and bebo accounts up to date aswell. In all the confusion I forgot to add the photos from […]

I did a photoshoot last night with the Swingin Bluecats who’ve just finished recording their new E.P, they needed some shots for the cover and some live shots aswell.
So off I went to Ryans pub on Friary Street, where they play every Tuesday Night, always happy to work with a new band and do something […]

Over the past few months , I’ve been lucky enough to be around through most of the recording process for the Itchy Trigger Finger E.P ‘The Wrong Side of Misery’.
Last summer, the lads began recording demo tracks in the studio in our house and they have been working away ever since on brand new material, […]

I just want to say a huge best of luck to Bob, Eddie, Graeme, Andy and John, better known perhaps as hardcore metallers, SlaveZero.
Tonight is a big night for them, and indeed a big night for the Kilkenny music scene, as they play support to U.S metal giants HateBreed in the Temple Bar Music Centre. […]

I’ve just updated the KilkennyMusic gallery, adding a couple of snapshots of KKM staff on a night out last Wednesday for the official launch of the Rhythm & Roots festival 2007.
Far be it for us at KilkennyMusic to turn down an invitation to a music festival launch, especially one celebrating it’s 10th year in Kilkenny. […]
