  • Honest Jon’s Chop Up: Vicar St, November 1st

    honest jonHere’s an event I would really love to go to, I was asked if I would go to Cork but couldn’t because of college commitments and a previous engagement means I’m going to miss Another Honest Jon’s Chop Up in Vicar St on November 1st.

    The good folk at ChoiceCuts are celebrating their tenth birthday this year and they’ve got together with West London Label Honest Jon to bring artists like artists such as Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, Flea, Hyponotic Brass Ensemble, Phil Cohran, Fatoumata Diawara, Theo Parrish, M.Anifest.. performing and collaborating in one unique fully rehearsed 2 and a half hour show. This is one of four shows they’re doing..

    Honest Jon is co-owned by Damon Albarn and specialises in releasing stuff from post- war black music in Britain to African highlife, from 70s English folk to modern Southern Soul. All together on one stage.. Awesome to the extreme.

    Tickets from €42.50 are available from ticketmaster.ie (more…)

  • Tune of the Week 28/10/2011: Patrick Wolf

    patrick wolf in trinityI really couldn’t pick anyone else to have this week’s Tune of The Week. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Patrick Wolf in Trinity College on Monday where he collected an award from Q Soc for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts. We had a little chat afterwards, you’ll hear some on 2XM on the Culture Cafe on Wednesday at 10am.

    He finished his set in The Academy with this track and live, it is absolutely massive! This week’s Tune of The Week is Patrick Wolf and This City.
