  • Interview: Chris Burman from Spector

    Interview: Chris Burman from Spector

    I really enjoyed chatting to Chris Burman, who is guitarist in much talked about band, Spector. (Yes, those guys who do that Chevy Thunder song. He comes across as a very personable guy and was really honest and open with his answers which was nice. We chatted loads, can’t wait to see the band in Whelan’s in Dublin tonight. Head on over to Goldenplec to have a little read.

    Here’s their new single Celestine:

  • Dionne Warwick: Live at Vicar St Dublin Review

    Dionne Warwick: Live at Vicar St Dublin Review

    It’s not every day you get to see a living legend perform, then again, there aren’t that many around that are actually deserving of the title. Dionne Warwick is one who is. Five Grammy awards, fifty something singles in the charts and now celebrating her fiftieth year in showbusiness. On May 24th, Ms Warwick took to the stage, looking a little different than we are used to seeing her, with her hair cropped short showing it’s natural grey. It took a while for her voice to warm up but when it did, well there’s no one like her.

  • Website Woes

    Website Woes

    headacheAs you can see, all my content is gone from my website. To be honest, this is turning into a head banging table thumping time for me. My site got hacked at the end of April. After I finished my thesis I managed to get it up and running again and just last week got everything working as it should. Until Friday.

    Some more nasty stuff showed up for some people, so at that point I tried with the help of Aidan from Goldenplec, (thanks a mill x) to figure out what was going on. Late Friday night, I took the decision with my hosting company to completely reset my account. This meant I had reload everything from scratch, which was OK as I had my backups.

    However, my hosting company obviously changed something in the site settings and I cannot upload my old site backups, which is a complete pain in the a$$. If the company cannot rectify this in the next day or two, I will have no choice but to change hosting companies.

    During the day today, I will re-upload the posts from last week so you can have a look if you like. Fingers crossed I will get this sorted in the next day or two.

    If you’re a hosting company, give me hosting and I’ll give you an advert on my site!
