30 March 2010: Foxrock Folk Club tapes.

According to this blog, a fantastic tape archive of live recordings made at the Foxrock Folk Club exists. I've emailed the address on the site but received nothing back. If anyone has better contacts, please get in touch.
There are some tantalising shows listed including:

  • Horslips 6.2.72
  • Mellow Candle 20.2.72
  • Louis Stewart 20.12.70, 11.4.71, 19.12.71
  • Supply, Demand & Curve 29.2.71, 5.12.71, 2.4.72
  • Tara Telephone 19.10.69, 20.12.70





    24 March 2010: Still looking for Vox backissues.



    I'm looking for issue #1, #12 and #13 (13 pictured above). If you can help me get copies of any of these, please get in touch. Photocopies or scans (300 dpi please) would be fine.




    5 February 2010: Another New Book

    • The Complete Guide to Ireland’s Top Ten Hits 1954 – 1979 by Eddie Kelly. This is a greatly expanded version of Eddie's earlier book on the charts of the 1960s. I haven't seen it yet but I can't imagine it being anything less than essential. My only wish is it covered the full top 20, if for no other reason than to have the opportunity to read bios of the many obscure Irish artists who only managed one single which barely scraped into the top 20. But such a book would undoubtedly have been unfeasibly large. Publishled in hardback last month by originalwriting.ie




    14 January 2010: Dave Kearney RIP

    Dave Kearney, lead guitarist with The Movement (1967-68), died on January 14 in Canada, where he'd lived since the 1980s. Dave's fuzz solo on the A-side of the band's debut single "Tell Her" (Target/Pye 7N 17443, January 1968) is simply outstanding.



    He died in January 2010
