What I have learned this year in the Music Game!

Oct 10, 2009, 5:29pm 2 U I Bestow
While I do a lot of regurgitating of music business information on here I still have a different perspective on the business because I'm not associated with the financial side of things. I'm not in this game to make money. I don't need to forge alliances with anybody. I don't review albums I don't like. If an album is poor I simply won't listen to it let alone write about it. So as an outsider on the fringes looking into an industry I have come up a few opinions! Here are a few steps I'd take to get [...]

Elder Roche - Nobody Knows [Album Review]

Oct 8, 2009, 1:03pm 2 U I Bestow
Elder Roche - Nobody Knows [Album Review] Elder's debut album which was officially released a few weeks back in The Button Factory was in fact recorded in 2007 and shows massive promise and potential which Elder has lived up to since the recording of the debut. The most significant aspect of 'Nobody Knows' is the quality of Elder's specific style of folk rock. This along with Elder's quality voice and his songwriting makes for a really good debut album which gets better after every listen! The best songs on the album are Heart to Strum, Diamonds and Nobody Knows. I also [...]

May 19, 2009, 2:56am 2 U I Bestow
Ruby Tuesday - Aoife Moriarty Aoife Moriarty released her debut album early this year called Dolls and Jigsaws. It's an interesting album of well crafted piano based pop songs that is growing on me with every listen. I seen Aoife supporting Brian Canavan in January and I'm really looking forward to catching Aoife's performance at the Live Mic Weekend where she is supporting Mark Dignam and Andrew Handrick.

All the details can be found here: http://www.livemicgigs.com/ .... artists playing include Mark Geary, Elder Roach, Brian Canavan and this week's Ruby Tuesday artist Andrew Handrick.

The Wednesday Review

Brian Canavan & The Difference Nighclubbin' Whelans 7th April
In the space of five days I got to see four of Ireland's finest artists in Whelans. Here for what it's worth is my take on the gigs! Friday 3rd April - One Day International with support from The Hedge Schools The Hedge Schools were Pat Barrett assisted by his mate, the legendary Joe Chester who produced last year's album 'Never Leave Anywhere'. I'm a massive fan of this album. Perfect escapism in the car. Performed live the tunes seem even more poignant and mesmerising. Their sound reminded me of old mid week gigs in pre-renovation [...]

Firstly if you can get to Whelans early on Wednesday to catch blog favourites Heritage Centre supporting the brilliant Alphastates. Should be a great night. Blog tip for the top act Aortal are no more. Talented singer James O'Toole has decided to put his musical career on hold to become a full time socialist and activist. All the best to James but this to me sums up what is wrong with the whole internet/facespace/twatter thing! Sometimes too much information is given! Before the net, James could have privately decided to put career on hold, [...]

Sunday's Seven Degrees of Ireland

Mar 15, 2009, 5:05am 2 U I Bestow
Sunday's Seven Degrees of Ireland Any fan of music blogs will notice that for the next few days it will seem like St. Patrick threw up all over the musical blogsphere. And that's great! I don't want to be adding to mix of Pogues and Dubliners mp3s just yet. The sevens tunes I have chosen today are songs I think sum up the Ireland of today and to me they represent current modern Irish Culture.

Something For The Weekend 2 - Brian Canavan

Jan 23, 2009, 11:28am 2 U I Bestow
Something For The Weekend 2 - Brian Canavan We decided during the week that on Saturday we are going to check out Brian Canavan with support from Aoife Moriarty Upstairs in Whelans this Saturday. I knew about Brian from his Carol Vorderman tune and video which is becoming a mini hit on YouTube. I'm getting a great vibe from his tunes on MySpace. On some songs he reminds me of Pony Club while on others he sings alot like Brian from A Lazarus Soul. And with Aoife in support I think it will be a cracking gig. It's only €7 in! [...]
