Basciville – Unreturned

Now, that‘s what I call a voice.

Wexford noir-soul duo Basciville have just ‘dropped’ this new live video shot seamlessly in one take by Wolff at the County Wexford School of Music of them performing their new song Unreturned.

Having wowed the audience at the recent Jeff Buckley tribute gig in Whelan’s, Wexford Street, Dublin with his pin-drop powerful performance, singer Cillian Byrne (top left) nails it again here while sibling Lorcan (top right) does his percussion wizard thing.

Basciville play the Grand Social, Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1, tomorrow at 10.30pm as part of the Irish Music Week showcases.

Nick says: Bask in Basciville.

Moore Street, Dublin 1

Oliva Kelly, of The Irish Times, reports:

Dublin’s 200-year-old Moore Street market could be consigned to history following indications from traders that they are prepared to shut-up shop.

A document entitled “Licence holders who wish to be considered to exit the market” signed by 17 traders who hold casual trading licences to operate on Moore Street has been sent to Dublin City Council.

Assistant council chief executive Dick Brady, who has responsibilty for casual trading, said the 17 signatories correspond with the number of licence holders on the street.
