Hi folks
Hope all is well with ye.
Lots going on this week again!!
Was in to see THE Cliffords last Saturday evening in Coughlans.
I was seriously impressed with them.
Jarvis has a line on the new Pulp album ( its wonderful btw)
“ i was born to perform”
The singer in THE CLIFFORDS could have written it … .rightly impressed i was … .seriously tight the band are … .real potential…potentially the biggest band to ever come out of Cork (in my opinion.)
Here’s a tune from the new EP
