    JD McPherson, Live at Whelan’s Dublin: Review

    jdmcphersonI actually found it really hard to write this. I enjoyed the gig so much that I didn’t want to appear gushing, but Oh My God! These guys are amazing.

    It’s not just JD, it’s the whole band who make this what it is. Something quite special indeed. You can read my review on Goldenplec.

    JD’s album ‘Signs and Signifiers’ is out now. You can listen to it on Rolling Stone, have a look at the video for ‘A Gentle Awakening’ below.

    Tune of the Week 13/07/2012: Heathers

    Heathers - Photo Taken from Facebook profileThere’s no doubt that ‘Remember When’ being in a Discover Ireland advert brought Heathers to a lot more people’s attention than would have previously known of the Macnamara twins, Ellie and Louise, aka Heathers.

    Well, fast forward twelve months and the pair have a new album ready to unleash, ‘Kingdom’ will be released in September.

    In the run up to the release the pair will be gigging around the land..

    • Sat Sept 1st: Electric Picnic Festival – Stradbally
    • Wed Sept 26th: Dolan’s Warehouse – Limerick
    • Thurs Sept 27th: Roisin Dubh’s – Galway
    • Fri Sept 28th: McHugh’s – Belfast
    • Sat Sept 29th: The Academy – Dublin
    • Thurs Oct 4th: The Pavilion – Cork

    Heathers have also released this single, ‘Forget Me Knots’ which you may have heard on the telly (actual programmes this time, no adverts!). I actually really like this song and find it quite uplifting. It features the refrain which many of us forget… ‘It’s alright not to feel ok’.
