Nominations for the 2008 Irish Blog Awards have been announced, with KilkennyMusic, Ken and myself featuring on the longlists.
For the second year in a row KKM has made the list and I have to say we’re delighted! Last year proved to be quite the adventure and I think the blog has come along way since […]

I haven’t posted a blog over the last few days. Two reasons for this; I’ve been working away on another series of pics (which should be online by the weekend), and I’ve been up to my eyeballs with college work. Most of the time college doesn’t provide much inspiration for a blog post.
But with my […]

I’ve just uploaded my latest series of photographs to my website, a collection of alternative body art portraits, once again working with the very beautiful Tanya O’Callaghan.
Keeping with my aim for 2008; of expanding into new areas of photography and developing my skills, the latest series of pictures are easily the farthest from my usual […]

Kilkenny 3-piece grunge outfit, Chemical Addiction, were back in the studio with Daw over the weekend to record more tracks for their highly-anticipated upcoming debut offering; ‘The Brian Jones E.P’.
Firstly, I have to offer a huge apology to Ben, Danny and Ciwi. Being so busy over the last few weeks meant I got all my […]

It was already mentioned on the KKM homepage earlier this week,but Kilkenny-based alternative pop-rockers SavingJ launch their brand new single ‘Valentine‘ in CrawDaddy tonight.
Last year, the four-piece received nationwide exposure for their debut offering ‘Bus Stop’, and it looks like 2008 is going to see their success continue. The new single is currently at number […]

As the Chief has already announced on the KKM forums; last year KilkennyMusic.com was nominated for the ‘Best Music Blog’ at the 2007 Irish Blog Awards. We never expected to win but it really was a great achievement for us to be shortlisted to the final five. And whilst I’m still under no delusion […]

There’s two reasons for the blog title; firstly I’ve hit 100 blog posts!!! (Which can only be further proof that I have no life!?) Yes, 100 posts and I’m not entirely sure what I’ve been blogging about so constantly but it appears some people are interested.
Since April there’s been 273 comments left on the blog; […]

Myself, the Chief and Mickey Boo hit the back room in Cleeres on Friday night, for the birthday celebrations of Atrax Mantis voKILList T.
For anybody not in the know; T is probably one of the nicest guys you can meet. Don’t be fooled by his wide selection of metal t-shirts with vulgar slogans, the “I’m […]

Firstly, a huge thanks to everyone who has commented on my latest series of pictures from Sligo. In just one day I’ve had comments on my website, my bebo profile, emails, text messages and even a phone call about the shots! It’s great to know people like my work, especially when I’m trying out new […]

Things have been fairly quiet around KKM over the Christmas and New years festivities, but now it’s all over and it’s time to try get back into the swing of things. So the next few blog posts will be a catch up on all of the photo-shoots, sessions and adventures over the last week […]

It’s Christmas Eve, the next few days will be filled with three things: eating too much, drinking too much and being bored. Yes, we all know that Christmas is just one big anti-climax and once you’ve opened your presents, you’ve got absolutely nothing to do for the day, except all three activities mentioned above.
Well […]

Yesterday we officially finished shooting Vultures episode 1 - The Kris Kringle Konundrum. Some of you may have seen us in and around the streets and lanes of Kilkenny over the last few days. We managed to attract crowds of on-lookers puzzled by the sight of cameras, sound equipment, several people in Santa costumes, chase […]

Between the madness of Christmas and working with Microfilms, I’m slowly but surely catching up on my backlog of work. Photos from the last OneTake Sessions of 2007 have just been added to the KilkennyMusic galleries. You can check out my shots of KKM Chief Ken McGuire, ITF frontman Jimmy Trigger, Jack O’Leary and the […]

KilkennyMusic Engineer and Itchy Trigger Finger sticksman, Alan Dawson, has officially parted ways with the local progressive metal outfit. Daw joined the band just under two years ago and was responsible for engineering and producing their E.P ‘The Wrong Side of Misery’, which was released last summer.
As I’m a huge fan of Itchy Trigger […]

Firstly, let me apologise for not yet replying to my comments and messages over the last couple of days. Once again I have been completely snowed under with college work. I want to clear up a couple of things, concerning my gig review of Cronus and 23 in the Zoo Club last Friday. I’ve had […]
