Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM 20/2/2013: Show 83

This week’s show is literally full to the brim. I chatted with Emily Elphinstone about the Collaborations Festival, James from Manchester band Delphic and I also spoke to Leszek Wolnik about two exhibitions running in The Copperhouse Gallery in Dublin. 10 Weeks and ‘When they put out their hands like scales’ both deal with plight of women who have traveled to the UK from Ireland for abortions. I’ve decided that I should include that in a podcast of it’s own, you’ll find it here.

Delphic premier trailer for new album ‘Collections’

I have to say I loved the singles from Delphic‘s debut album ‘Acolyte’ and ‘Doubt’ was on the playlist of a fair few radio shows I did. Now, they’re back, just after completely a short UK tour, Delphic have unveiled a ‘trailer’ for their new album ‘Collections’.

It shows a slight change in direction for the trio, which a slightly less sharp sound, a little more fuzzy and warm. I’m looking forward to hearing the full thing. The band posted on their website saying that they came up with the title before the release of Acolyte saying the ‘word describing the way we view the world, the way we live our lives, and the way we work: many small ideas making up a greater whole.’
