    Competition: Win a pair of tickets to Entertainment.ie’s The Erics

    On this week’s Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM, I had the pleasure of speaking to John Balfe, Music Editor of Entertainment.ie about The Erics award ceremony, which take place on January 16th in The Village in Dublin. You can listen to the podcast here. John was kind enough to give me a pair of tickets for the listeners of Culture Cafe on 2XM.

    The night will consist of an award cermony along with full sets from Heathers and Delorentos. Tickets are €10 and available here. Full sets from both of these bands? where would ye get it?

    To be in with a shot of getting your hands on a pair of tickets all you have to do is tell me, if you could award a fictitious award what would it be? Answers can be totally comedic or entirely serious, that’s up to you, just leave them below!

    And make sure you like Culture Cafe and Entertainment.ie on Facebook. Competition closes midnight on Sunday 13th January. Bon Chance!

    COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED: STAY TUNED FOR THE WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!

    UPDATE: The Randomiser (ie my Other Half who is at work) picked out number 5 – Congrats Lorraine, you’re off to the Erics! We’ll be in touch. Thanks to everyone who entered and to Entertainment.ie for the tickets

    Edit: Turns out Lorraine already got her mitts on some tickets, round 2 and the number ‘drawn’ was 4, congrats Abe

    Stream: Heathers: New single – Lions Tigers Bears

    HeathersbannerHere’s the new single from the McNamara ladies, Ellie and Louise aka Heathers. It’s taken from their current album ‘Kingdom’ and was produced by Max Dingel who has also worked with White Lies. Lions Tigers Bears is the follow up to previous ‘Tune of the Week’ track, ‘Forget Me Knots’ and features some nice electro synth sounds in there.

    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’.
