Saint Caoilian – Cork music superman polishes his halo
What you may need to know…
01. Since we last checked in with Shaker Hymn/Southern Hospitality Board/Quarter/regular disc-jockeying man Caoilian Sherlock, he’s met the minimum requirements to formally receive sainthood before embarking on his solo career in earnest.
02. Himself and Leeside music omnipresence Mr.K have been jamming under the Worm name and have started Small Town Disco, a wee label between them, as reported last week.
03. Streaming above is the video for single I’ll Be a Fool for You, premiered last week over at Nialler9. It’s the leadoff single for Faraway, available May 5th through Small Town Disco.
04. Catch him in Dubland on April 6th in Whelan’s, providing support for Marlene Enright on her tour for album Placemats and Second Cuts.
Thoughts: One of Irish music’s real renaissance men; an artist, curator and enthusiastic spectator in equal measure.
North Korea leader Kim Jong Un (left) and US President Donal Trump
Old Trump struck a menacing tone
When he said he’ll take Kim on alone
But he’ll cause no unease
Among the Chinese
As his penchant for bullshit’s well known.

George was a friend and massive fan of the Blue Nile and the band were keen that he be remembered
