I’ve been playing All The Boys from Swords on 2XM for the past while, I really like it. I really like the production on the track and think its a great step forward for them. The new video for All The Boys is quite quirky and has a nice dark edge to it. I wonder if the director Bob Gallagher is a fan of Dexter?
The band have been busy playing at The Camden Crawl Dublin and at Vantastival and as far as I know their next gig is on July 5th in Whelans.
Episode 93 on RTE 2XM, where does the time go? So what should I do for episode 100, any ideas? Let me know! nessy @ nessymon.com

The good and kind folk at Fingal Film Festival, which runs from March 21-23rd, have been kind enough to give me two pairs of tickets for the Opening Gala night on March 21st and two pairs of tickets for the Awards night on March 23rd.
First up, The Opening Gala Night is March 21st and features a screening of Sean Penn and Frances McDormand’s new film, ‘This Must Be The Place’. It takes place at UCI Blanchardstown at 9pm but its a Gala Screening so I’d recommend being there before that.
Second, the awards night takes place in The Wright Venue in Swords and will feature Eddie Naessens as MC. Emtertainment will be provided by The Young Folk Band supported by Machine Gun Baby. The event starts at 7pm and runs until about 10pm so it’s perfect for popping to Swords after work on Friday.
To be in with a shout of winning one of these pairs of tickets, tell me what your favourite film is and which tickets you would prefer, it’s always good too if you like my Facebook page. Competition will close on Tuesday March 20th at 5pm. Bon Chance!
