A cool snap of Rockin’ Kev from the Evening Herald dating back to 1976. The text reads: Dublin’s only genuine Teddy Boy, Kevin Connolly, keeps on rocking at the R. & R. Disco. I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin at the Magnet reunion earlier this year. He’s still as sharply dressed as ever! [...]

So ‘Sir’ David ‘Ram Jam’ Rodigan, legendary British reggae DJ, told the packed crowd in Twisted Pepper last night halfway through his amazing 2.5hr set. Definitely one of the best gigs I’ve been to in Dublin. Everyone should see this guy in action at least once in their lives.

Spotted this morning on Amien’s Street… Good stuff… Silly billies must not have read stipulations with regard putting up posters on O’Connell Street though… Walking down this morning circa 8:00 there were twenty or so attached to traffic lights on the main strip; no sign of them at 12:30!

ADW’s Pricks And Mortar show over the weekend was excellent, and seemed to attract a huge crowd of Dubliners over the course of it. What I like most about ADW’s work is that not only is it visually pleasing, it often packs a punch and has something to say. His ‘Blues Brothers’ image of Cowen [...]

Always nice to get a follow up, here’s an excellent video from Youtuber eugenefinn of Jinx Lennon performing down at the Central Bank last night in support of Occupy Dame Street. Big Protest Day went down a treat, as did the wonderfully titled You Must Forgive The Cunts.
