Hi folks

Hope all is well out there.

Two instores coming up in the next week

First up on Saturday the 14th of June at 2 pm is the wonderful  Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee (Evelyn & Dec) 

They will be performing songs from their latest album , signing cds and having the chats.

We might do a little Q&A with Declan after the performance about his life in music, as fair to say he has seen it all….that’s if we are brave enough to do it.

2PM Saturday anyway folks….will be a good one.

Here is another song from the latest album…expect more of this on Saturday

Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee Live at New Ross Guitar Festival

As always cash preferred for the instores if possible please and if anyone cant make it and wants a signed CD….please let us know and we will sort it


 

Releases so for this friday the 13th of June ( wooohhh) include

 

Couple of things folks…i am fairly certain there is a signed Pulp test pressing on route to us…..signed by all the band…Shane will share the image….we will enter everyone who has bought the album into a raffle for it….if you want to join the raffle…buy the album, cd or lp or cassette ….we will run it till next tuesday and raffle for weds newsletter.

I kept meaning to mention the next bit…if ye remember we had a hassle with Stripe there a few months ago…we couldn’t take payments for 2 days on the site….we ( not me, i don’t think i can even put a product up anymore, the IT gang)  put paypal back in as a payment option….we are leaving Paypal in…thing is though…Paypal fees on the shop are 4% and Stripe are 2.2%….so if its no skin off your nose go with stripe when paying please….its all about the mighty dollar here in the corporation folks.

Second smashing instore coming up then is 49TH AND MAIN

This one is on Tuesday evening the 17th of June at 6 pm

The Kilkenny lads are signed to Counter Records in the UK and release their debut LP and CD ON THE 14TH June “ happy tears

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road as usual….class video for “feckin unreal” i saw last night Shane…bualadh bos kid.

Ah sound, Ray! Glad you liked it. Excited to share it here with ye all. Filmed on Cape Clear a couple weeks back. The first sprouts of the song came from there, 17/18 years ago. Thanks so much to Tim McSweeney, who usually does our instore videos, for his drone photography.
This track’s a bit more folky (except the end!)
Give it a like and share and all that malarkey, please!
bÚkl – Feckin’ Unreal (Official Music Video)

Also, just want to say thanks so much again to everyone who has supported the album so far. I’ve sold over half of my stock and the feedback/reviews have been very positive – thanks again!
Still copies left if you want to pick it up (borrowing the hawking hat from Ray), the vinyl is Shaney splatter coloured! – bÚkl – Blue Ghost in the Memory Machine

First up for me to mention for down the road is the brand new album from DAVID BYRNE – Who is the Sky?. A legend as ye know. I always remember that track ‘Like Humans Do’ (?) that was automatically on the Windows XP Media Player. Less annoying than U2 maybe?!
Here’s  a new track from the album: Everybody Laughs: 
https://youtu.be/YM-BTJKIz0Q?si=FZzBuOQUT8nCLytp

There will be CD, black vinyl, yellow vinyl and indies ‘apple green’ vinyl. All the formats come with a fold-out poster! Out September 5th, and his first album in seven years!

On the first of August, ROGER WATERS is releasing This Is Not a Drill: Live From Prague on 2 CD, DVD, Blu Ray or a 4 LP Set.
It’s a career-spanning set list including tracks from DSOM and The Wall.
Here’s one from the list:

And here’s our list of the rest:

Oh, there’s a new/unreleased remix mini album from MADONNA coming called ‘Veronica Electronica’ and it’ll be on limited ‘silver nugget metallic’ 12 inch! Féach!

Last but definitely not least (please don’t egg my house, Bowie heads!) there’s a 40th anniversary 12 inch EP release of DAVID BOWIE & MICK JAGGER – Dancing in the Street!
And that one is on ‘cool’ cream coloured vinyl. 25th of July release.

That’s all from my end, folks. Hope ye’re all well.
Slán. Cheers, Ray.

Thanks Shane!!

Ray, Shane, Adam Og and MIA.
