May 29th: Two middle-aged KNEECAP fans, Thanks to DK, HEDGE SCHOOLS in-store, coloured vinyl reissues, new DECEMBRERISTS, and see ye at NIAMH!

Hi folks

Hope all is well … .June is nearly here and the rebels are still hurling!!

We will take that, we will.

Right bits of news hence the newsletter.

Had David Kitt last Monday  evening and twas great…thanks again to David and to those of ye who came along … .hugely appreciated as always. David gifted us a lovely handmade CD stand with some iconic artists on it…its a beautiful little stand, nice touch from David.

Really looking forward to Niamh Regan this Saturday the 1st of June at 1pm….i have a digital copy of the album the last  few weeks and it is super, really looking forward to hearing some of these songs live, Niamh really is a talent and i feel on the cusp of bigger things…these bunch of songs should do that i feel…the last instore during Covid for the launch of “ hemet” had such a lovely warm vibe…here is the new single “ music”…super song, fine songwriter

Niamh Regan – ‘Music’ lyric video

Niamhs in our house Saturday and will be singing, signing records and cds after … .one not to be missed folks!! 

It could be one in 3 years you will be saying Crikey Ray had her in the shop.

Oh, if you can’t make it in and want a signed copy….shout folks or buy it from the site.

While i’m on the instore train…another sweet one…Mr Patrick Barrett will be down with us on Saturday the 15th of June @ 1pm for a solo Hedge Schools acoustic performance…he/we are launching “the  end of the winding day” record on vinyl for the very first and only time. Ah Pats such a gent, i kind of didn’t want him to come down…let me explain…( off course i wanted him to come down, can’t wait) see there’s no financial thing in it at all for Pat, he is coming down  to help us sell records so we can get our few pound back on the release…i was like “ Pat, there’s no hassle kid, i don’t want to be bringing you all the way down here etc etc” response ….ah jaysus Ray, i owe that to ya, i owe it to myself”….how do you argue with that…Saturday 15th June 1 pm…will be a special one..might even get Pat a Cork jersey like ( i know i’m getting carried away with the hurling…pure Cork, thinking were brilliant)

Anyways chalk that one down folks…Sat 15th june 1pm!!

Sound, Ray. How’s it going everyone?
Yeah, I like KNEECAP too! Bit of Sleaford Mods to them. Some great beats and the Irish/English mix is different.
