I did indeed give it a whirl. Yep not a bad effort, are they going through the thankless task of trying to get signed or is it fun?


I know some guys in another Irish band called New Vegas. They struggled to get signed, won the Dublin Battle of the Bands, plaudits in the Irish Times, but just couldn't get that lucky break.

They split up a couple of months back which was a pity as I genuinely thought them better than some of the success stories out there.

I still get to see the two brother's play over bongos and keyboard in a 'raw sex' manner in a little bar called Nico's in New Ross, Wexford.


I post one of their fabulous efforts in memoriam as it were.

(apologies for dreadful compression to get file under

No, Scott doesn't chase record deals, just does it for fun I think. He did make an album a few years ago, and sold it himself.


He lives in Tokyo and records in his spare room, and plays mandolin in an Irish folk band!


New Vegas sounds good but blimey you've compressed it to death!

Ooh, had a bit of a spree in Fopp today:


The Bees - Octpous

The Bird and the Bee - Eponymous

Laura Veirs - Saltbreaker


THe last is just terrific, love it, loads of influences Echobelly, Lush, Joanna Newsome a bit of Curesque guitar som eHowling Bells as well as the usual Joni Mitchelly bits thrown in

enjoy


Crystal, apparently she's done a couple of guest spots on the Decemberists if she sounds familiar

She is obsessed with the sea. songs on this album include Ocean Night Song, Drink deep, Cast A Hook In Me and Wrecking.

She seems to sweet to splinter someone's fingers.


Also loving The Bird and the Bee btw

    • I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
