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 […]

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 […]

Exactly a week on and I finally get a chance to upload the final installment of photos from last weeks Underground gig with Na Damanta, Chemical Addiction and 23 (who rock!). For those of you interested, I’ve just posted a blog on the new Oss237.com Blog giving details about the new shots and the post […]

The second installment from Sunday’s Underground gig, Kilkenny’s own grunge 3-piece, Chemical Addiction.
The first of several warm-up gigs for the lads in the run-up to the launch of their debut offering ‘The Brian Jones E.P‘. With Ciwi caught up with college (I feel your pain dude), Ben and Danny were joined by KKM Engineer Alan […]

With the primary research due on my thesis at the end of this week, I really don’t have much time to be blogging, and so shots from yesterdays gig with Na Damanta, Chemical Addiction and 23 will come in three (brief) installments.
First up yesterday and the first band to hit the Underground stage this year […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

After an another painfully long week in college; handing in two assignments and the research methodology for my dissertation, which is now entitled ‘An investigation into the use of MySpace.com as a PR tool for independent musicians in the Irish music industry‘. I was looking forward to this weekend. Like most Friday nights, I made […]

Having time to blog on a regular basis just doesn’t seem possible. The last week of college has been painful with endless lists of assignments and deadlines looming. Next week isn’t looking like it will ease up either.
I’ve just posted photos from the 16th One Take Sessions in Cleeres last Thursday. I’d love to go […]

I was hoping to do a detailed blog post (possibly two!?) dedicated to last weekends unbelieveable gig with Atrax Mantis, Abysmal Torment, Slave Zero and Sanatorium in the the Zoo Club on Saturday and Sunday, but with a huge list of college assignments and work to do I’ll have to settle for a recap on […]

The OneTake Sessions returned to Cleeres Theatre on Thursday night. We were back after a long break with the 14th One Take Sessions with four more acts taking to the stage.
First up was Eamonn O’Connor, announcing it’s a long time since he played in Cleeres, having played some of my his gigs there. He’s […]

Another week flys by in a blur and on top of my previously mentioned dissertation to be researching, I’m also working on a PR campaign project, hopefully the project will be used to launch the KilkennyMusic Street Team next year. I’ve also got a video project, a cultural sociology assignment aswell as various photoshoots with […]

It’s been a while since we actually had a KKM gig, having been on a long break due to the Battle of the Bands, Cannibal the Musical and more, but we were back in Cleeres Theatre last night for the first of 10 gigs before the end of this year, and the launch of new […]
