In the aftermath of Devious Theatre’s highly successful fourth production ‘Smitten‘, I’ve been slowly but surely getting through a huge backlog of work, meaning lots of new additions to the Kilkenny Music Galleries.
First up, I’ve added my shots from the 25th One Take Sessions featuring performances from Harry Rambles, Michael Whelan, Walk Person and the […]

The Hype Entertainment Battle of the Bands 2008 has finally begun, with the first heat kicking off on Sunday in the Zoo Club.
KilkennyMusic.com is officially sponsoring the competition again this year, with full on-line coverage, Daw behind the desk and myself and Ken behind the judging table with organiser Andrew McGuinness.
Like last year, Oss237.com is […]

I’ve added my shots from the recent Clive Barnes & Jeff Lang National Tour in association with MyMusicPR to the KilkennyMusic Galleries.
With the official launch of MyMusicPR coming up (more on that soon), more artists signed up and some more to be announced shortly, it means myself and The Chief will be on the road […]

There really hasn’t been much time for post-show blues following on from Trainspotting. Things haven’t even slowed down, meaning as usual I’m up to my eyeballs and the backlog continues to grow, blogging is on the huge “to do” list.
So, once again I’m trying to catch-up. I’ve uploaded a whole new batch of photos to […]

This past week has been nothing short of hectic, it has passed by so quickly, leaving little time for blogging.
Last Friday night saw Laminate return to Cleere’s Theatre for their farewell performance, with support from The Skins. It’s way too late to go into details about the gig but as […]

Finally, a weekend filled with bands and music. Myself, Daw and the Chief were in Ryans pub last night, which seemed to have something for everyone.
When I arrived there was a trad session in the centre of the pub, a band setting up in the front and Problems at the Pancake House had Hola Manana […]

Still struggling to get back into blogging on a regular basis, things have been fairly quiet around KKM in recent weeks. This is sure to change very soon with upcoming gigs, E.P launches and projects. But for now birthday celebrations are all around.
Oss237.com - Ross Costigan Photography celebrates it’s 2nd Birthday today. It’s been quite […]

It’s been well over a month since my last post, but now that college is over I’m trying to catch up on a huge backlog of work and slowly but surely get myself back in the game.I’ve been flat out over the past few weeks working on a bunch of different projects, many of […]

Yet another week goes by in a blur and not a single blog post!? With my thesis due in less than two weeks now, chances are there won’t be too many posts for a while. But for now there’s plenty of news.
Check out the promo trailer (above) for Vultures episode 2: The Scarlet Lady Vanishes. […]

Over the past few months I’ve become increasingly aware of using my KKM Staff Blog to talk about all of the photography work and projects I was doing, and how it was becoming less and less relevant to KilkennyMusic.
And so thanks to the Chief, I’ve just launched a new blog on Oss237.com. As I continue […]

The One Take Sessions returned to Cleeres Theatre on Thursday night, the 18th session, our first session of 2008 and my first gig shoot of the year.
I’m not going to go into detail about the gig, we’ll be doing a OneTake Sessions special on next weeks Sound System Podcast. But I have to say there […]

Myself and the Chief caught a bus around lunchtime yesterday to make our way to Dublin for the Irish Blog Awards 2008.
It’s not very often that myself and Ken actually have two hours to sit and talk, and so the trip up was a serious session of planning, ideas, brainfarts and future plans. There’s going […]

I’ve had a completely hectic week with college work deadlines all colliding, meaning regular blogging once again took a back seat.
I have to say that I’m delighted this week is nearly over, having had to hand in assignments and speeches, an Ethnographic study of a social group (I chose boy-racers), make a portfolio, do a […]

As the Chief already announced on the homepage this week, we’ve made it through to the finals of the Irish Blog Awards 2008.
KilkennyMusic.com is on the shortlist for ‘Best Music Blog’ for the second year running, Kenmc.com is up for ‘Best Technology Blog’ and I’m in the final listings for ‘Best Photo Blog’ with oss237.com. […]

I’ve just listened to a sneak preview, of a brand new 20BullsEach track ‘Down’, from their upcoming album ‘Minimum Wage/Maximum Rage’. I love sneak previews and I love this song!
It’s exactly what I needed at the end of a completely shite day. It’s got chunky riffs, it’s fast paced, the vocals vary between great […]
