ooSe – Experimental/’dream-hop’ from Cork
What you may need to know…
01. Absorbing elements of experimental, funk, hip-hop, house and math-rock into itself like some sort of beast are Cork folk ooSe.
02. Somehow encompassing all of this into a three-piece, the band first emerged in August of last year, releasing three-track E.P. Ephem.
03. Streaming above is an excerpt from the band’s show at the Triskel Arts Centre, this past September, a taster of their depth in the live field.
04. Gigging next on the 23rd of December, returning to the Triskel, with support from Donal Dineen on the decks, and visuals from Isaac Stillwell.
Verdict: A layered, complex, bewitching, yet seemingly fully-polished proposition. A hidden gem.

Further to Oxfam’s report on tax havens, which cited Ireland as the ‘6th worst corporate tax haven’ in the world.
Stephen McDermott writes:
In light of the report from Oxfam, I thought it might be worthwhile drawing your attention to a piece I wrote for this month’s Village magazine [link below].
As Oxfam International continues to call for multinationals to pay more tax, it is engaged, interestingly, in practices in the UK which one commentator has described as looking “remarkably like tax avoidance“.
Furthermore, as a member of the Irish Charity Shops Association, Oxfam Ireland has previously lobbied for further reductions in its own tax here.
In response, Oxfam Ireland have since claimed that the “positives of reducing a charity’s tax/rates liabilities [sic] are obvious”.
Some might argue that Oxfam would say that, but perhaps you’ll let your readers decide for themselves….
FIGHT!
