…took these today at Sandymount / along the Bull Wall [Dublin]. I believe they are Blood Scallops but there are genuinely millions of them, all dead. the birds are not eating them so I presume there is something seriously wrong with them. What do you think?

The Alternative Limb Project offers a personal and friendly bespoke service, which provides unique prosthetics  to blend in with the body or stand out as a unique piece of art, reflecting the wearer’s imagination, personality and interests.  We will involve the wearer in all stages of the process from conception of ideas to the final work. An alternative-style limb can help to break down social barriers, delight the eye and provide an unusual talking point.

(Above: the Snake Arm, the Crystalline Leg and a steampunk-style limb created for and modeled by singer Viktoria Modesta.)

Riot Tapes – The Key.

JJ Jupiter, Caimin Gilmore and Riot Tapes take part in another discovery night at Stag’s Head Raw, upstairs in the Stag’s head, Dame Court, Dublin, on Easter Sunday.

Barry sez:

Cracking new Irish music live for less than the price of a reasonably-sized Easter egg. Can’t say fairer than that.

8pm. €5.00
