Mick Flannery – Wasteland
Looking for drama?
The new video from Corkonian singer/songwriter Mick Flannery (top) is frighteningly intense.
Fellow music industry stalwart Steve Wall (looking disturbingly like Breaking Bad‘s Walter White here) stars as a troubled soul in this promo directed in moody monochrome by Sinead McDevitt.
Nick says: Stunning.
How Much?

Christy Moore is isolating at home and is sending me on covers of “modren classics” to lift people’s spirits and the auld mental health. He’ll be sending more on every day, and is only dyin’ for requests.
In fairness.
Anyone?
This morning.
Just ‘dropped’.
Jiggy’s versions of the Adam Sutherland tune The Road to Errogie specially recorded for stuck-at-home dancing.
From top: Michael Caine (carrying parcel) in a scene from The Italian Job shot in Kilmainham Gaol; Kilmainham today.
The Irish Film Institute writes:
All the prison scenes in the 1969 classic The Italian Job were actually filmed in Kilmainham Jail, in Dublin! The East Wing was painted yellow.
After the filming of In The Name Of The Father in 1992, it was repainted in cream & brown, which remains to this day.
Meanwhile…
U2 perform inside Kilmainham for single ‘A Celebration’ in 1982.
The band were at the time serving six months for a number of fashion crimes.
Tandem Felix – Now I’m A Drip
Fancy a ride on the carousel?
Join Tandem Felix singer David Tapley as he goes for a spin in Bray for the new video from last year’s Rom-Com album.
Criminally overlooked by the Choice Prize, Tandem Felix delivered one of the best Irish records of 2019.
Nick says: Horsin’ around.

This afternoon.
Further to actress Gal Gadot organising celebrity pals to sing John Lennon’s Imagine, cast members of RTÉ soap Fair City sing Mark McCabe’s Maniac 2000 as part of an appeal to raise funds for an artist emergency relief fund.
Your toes may never uncurl again.
Um.
