Big sis was at it last night too and was suitably impressed.

Went to see Antony and the Johnsons at the Marquee in Cork last night. Brilliant. Herself couldn’t go so I enlisted a friend of mine who came kicking and screaming but he is now a convert. Have been travelling for almost 2 weeks with work and this gig was a great antedote for work-related stress! The Marquee setup is highly organised from toliets to drinks, foods etc. Seated also. Prices are off the chart for some of the acts thought. I paid €100 plus internet fee for last nights. Martha Wainwright played support (she has a few issues…) for aboout an hour and the main act gave almost 2 hours worth. There is a residents curfew for 11pm for most gigs I think.
Anyone else grab the music?

That’s ridiculous!

If you’d travelled to Bandon this weekend you’d have that annoyance plus no water from 2am until 2pm. The loos of B&Bs all over Bandon must have been a sight to behold this morning.

Duke Special has also been causing a stir, recently playing to a full house in the Cork Opera House. Big fan of Director too, saw them a while back in Cyprus Avenue.

If you’re there, I’ll probably be on the Duke Special merchandise stall. Somehow got roped into it.

Ireland to me, is the most beautiful country in the world.
