Yearly Archives: 2016
On Tuesday, we placed a lovely Martin and Roy tee (above) from Nutmeg Clothing on offer to THREE readers who could complete the Limerick that began: ‘Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest…’
You entered in your moob friendly tens.
Runners up
Eoin: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest… I’ll wear it with pride over my vest.. If we are sent home early… I’ll put it on a hanger… Just like Saipan and that Cork langer”
ams: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest, They’ll cover my moobs which make people squeamish And I’ll look like a ride while we’re battering the Swedish.”
Davos: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest, And my phone will always be on silent, For fear Roy’s mood might suddenly turn violent.”
Winners:
Shifty: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest, For when we play in Group E with some zest, We’ll put the best of the rest to the test.”
Mcgenius: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest, The games will be tough, our opponents are dauntin’ But at least we’re not led by the hapless Steve Staunton.”
Mick: “Please put Martin and Roy on my chest, I’ll wear them with pride over my vest, With Shane Long on my jocks and Wes Hoolahan socks, I’ll be sunburned and drunk but well dressed.”
Thanks all.

King Kong Company – new single Scarity Dan hits the charts midweek
What you may need to know…
01. Waterford-based outfit King Kong Company have become somewhat of a fixture on the Irish festival circuit.
02. The band’s self-titled debut album releases on the 17th of this month, after a build-up of over a year having first been hinted at with single Spacehopper last year.
03. Streaming above is the vidjo for new single Scarity Dan, released last week. As of yesterday, it’s number seven in the Irish pop chart, still an achievement for a DIY release.
04. Upcoming appearances on the festival grind: June 4th at Vantastival, June 11th at BARE in the Woods, June 24 at Sea Sessions, and July 1 at Waterford’s Daytripper fest.
Verdict: Madcap synth-pop, made specifically for going ape. Pun intended.
