I would welcome it. The orange in our flag is rank. No offence to our northern brethren of course, im speaking solely about the aesthetics. I also believe it to be more inclusive of a broader Irish identity. ]]> The Langers Forum Jimmy the Gent http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208289 http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208288&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 22:20:11 GMT You never see them on sale in the English market and I could eat one now.

As part of the Trash Culture Revue we're delighted to have Pearse McGloughlin and the Nocturnes with special guest Justin Grounds play an early gig in The Roudny at 6.30pm on Saturday 19th May.

The musicians that impress Pearse McGloughlin most are those that operate at borders … cross them when they need to, stop short of them if they need to. It’s sometimes a difficult terrain to navigate.

I first played with a group called Socialite in my hometown of Sligo. That was immense fun and I have very fond memories of it. Subsequently, I spent time in France and Montreal, learned French, got hooked on songwriting and recorded a short EP in cold Québec city. My next group was Thy Swan Army in Galway. I took a lot from this band, recorded songs and played some really good gigs. People liked us. The group splintered eventually and members went to work on separate projects (Ghostwood Project, John Terrors).

I next lived in London, played with more musicians and gigged the indie scene as Walkperson. Most of the songs I wrote during this period I‘ve let go but there are several I‘ve held on to, of which I‘m still proud.

Back in Ireland again I released Desired Effect EP in 2006. I released my solo album Busy Whisper in 2009, a clearer, more cohesive piece of work than anything I had produced previously. This was recorded with Andy Knightley and partly by myself and Karl Odlum. Played by a troupe of talented musicans, it received a quiet but genuinely enthusiastic critical reception.
I‘m now working on the second album, but it might be a while yet before it‘s fully realised.

Justin Grounds is a violinist, singer and electronicist Justin Grounds describes himself as ‘a solitary purveyor of sound’ and yet experiencing him perform live you would be forgiven for imagining an entire orchestra on-stage.
Sending his 5-string viola and (self-named) “cellolino” (strung an octave lower than a conventional violin) through a laptop, feet tapping on all manner of home-made pedals, he builds layer upon layer of rhythms and melodies into what STU magazine called ‘…a holy and magical crescendo.”

Sending these sounds through electronic filters and effects, Grounds sings overtop to produce onstage a sound vital and post-modern and yet also somewhat fragile and ancient ]]> Music Forum mutantspace http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208282 http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208281&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 19:55:09 GMT As part of the Trash Culture Revue... As part of the Trash Culture Revue Liz Clark and Tessa Perry are doing a special once off free gig in Bradleys on Barrack street on Friday 18th @ 9pm.

Liz Clark is a US and Ireland-based singer/songwriter with an infectious personality and charismatic stage presence that shine though her poetic songs.

Liz divides her time between a horse ranch in Colorado and a coastal organic farm and restaurant called The Glebe in West Cork, Ireland. Meanwhile she is never far from her touring circuit. Each year, she embarks on coast-to-coast tours of the US, and while based on the other side of the pond, gets around Ireland, the UK and parts of Europe.

Her love of music shines through at her live shows, but she’s also garnered wide acclaim on the small screen. The music video for her first single, “Who’s Your Angel,” went to #3 on MTV’s Logo Network and she has recently signed deals with Oxygen, MTV, and TrueTV Networks to feature her songs in such shows as “The Hills” and “The Real World Manhattan”. Liz has opened for well-known musicians such as Joe Walsh, Ritchie Havens, Linda Perry, Bob Schneider, and The Counting Crows over the years.

2011 was a busy year for Liz, after launching her latest series of food and music house concert series with partner and chef Tessa Perry, called Beat Roots and a spring tour throughout Northern Europe including Holland, Germany,Belgium, Latvia and Lithuania.

Last July, Liz won the Ourstage.com competition at the Denver stop on the Lilith fair 2010, opening for Sarah McLachlan an Emmylou Harris. The contest combined Internet voting with a group of judges picking from among the top three vote getters in her region.

Liz recently finished recording her 4th studio album as part of her Lonely And The Moose sideproject with Tessa Perry. The songs range from unhurried and haunting harmonies with Irish influence to hook-based rockers, all with the theme of two lovers separated by distance.

Liz can also be seen touring and making music with a number of her musical side projects; Lonely And The Moose with her partner the Irish singer/songwriter Tessa Perry and the three-part harmony female trio, “Girl Parts”, which raises money for Domestic and Sexual Violence awareness.

Tessa Perry is a vocalist, guitarist and writer whose sound is steeped in the country-blues and folk traditions.
She’s rapidly cultivating a loyal fan base on both sides of the Atlantic through her startlingly fresh songs with lyrics that are wistful and punch-in-the-gut candid. Whether playing to a sold-out 200-seat venue or an East Village dive bar, Tessa spins images and observations of the world around her into soulful, intimate communication with her audience.

Born in England and raised on the west coast of Ireland, Tessa hit the road at age 18 with a dilapidated guitar, three (not to be named) cover songs, and a mind to educating herself in the ways of the world. She soon got bored to tears with those three songs, so she proceeded to write her own new tunes.
Thus began a career that would lead her to performing across Europe with headliners like Ani DiFranco, Damien Rice, the
Indigo Girls, the Corrs, the Hothouse Flowers and many more internationally successful artists.

Tessa’s debut recording, Live at DeBarras, was released in 2001 in Dublin to national acclaim. Music critic Cormac Looney called the album’s subtly raw compositions and boldly improvisational style ‘solemn, heartfelt and neatly funky, standing shoulder to shoulder with the best of Irish songwriting in the last year.’

Tessa’s latest album, Weightless, was recorded in New York City, where Tessa has found a fertile new home base.
‘Weightless’ is a peep into the life of an outsider trying to make it on the inside. With her sweet-as-honey, thick-as-whiskey voice Tessa tussles with some lyrically brilliant songs with both hands and holds them out for you to taste and savour. Co-produced by Brad Albetta, who has recently gained deserved praise for his work with Martha Wainwright, this album is the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary career, because it’s the only way she knows. ]]> Music Forum mutantspace http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208281 http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208280&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 19:27:35 GMT 4channnnn (https://www.facebook.com/4channnnn) Image:... 4channnnn
