Marlene Enright – releasing new single Alchemy

What you may need to know…

01. The breathy, considered voice of Cork alt-folk outfit The Hard Ground, Marlene Enright has struck out solo in recent times with a run of singles.

02. Having helped see the Hard Ground through a crowd-funded trilogy of EPs, Triptych, in 2014, Enright’s debut solo album, Placemats and Second Cuts, is due in March of next year.

03. Streaming above is the video for new single Alchemy, filmed and directed by Cork filmmaker Barra Vernon.

04. Catch her touring Ireland in support of indie-rocker gone solo John Blek. John Cleere’s in Kilkenny on the 19th, Coughlan’s in Cork on the 25th, Phil Grimes’ in Waterford on the 26th, on the Other Voices Music Trail in Dingle on December 2nd and 3rd, capped off with a show at Whelan’s on the evening of the 3rd.

Verdict: Taking that slight, yet mighty voice in its own direction is a good fit, as Enright relays her own experiences with the help of purposeful writing and arrangement.

My lovely father is giving up his two tickets for this Saturday’s Ireland V New Zealand match, as he’s aware of the demand and sees the opportunity to raise some money for my Mum’s chosen charity – the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

So – I’ve two great tickets on offer. East Stand, Premium Level on the 22.

The latest bid is €500 total – but the more we can raise for the DRCC the better! If someone out there would like to make a better offer, drop a line to sineadryanpr@gmail.com. Bidding closes 4pm Thursday.

Anyone?

Could you please ask people to keep and eye out for this bike (above) it belonged to our mate Timmy (top) who died a few months ago and we want it back.. it means a lot to us to be ridden on the streets of Dublin by someone Timmy would have wanted to ride it..

Timmy worked as a push bike courier in Dublin for 24 years – 72,000 hours on this bike.. It’s covered in stickers from all over the world some gifts some Timmy got when at bicycle events in those countries…it was stolen in the Portobello area ..

It’s a standard Trek road bike …there is a weld spot near the crank, it’s not worth a whole lot to anyone but us ..Thank you very much.

Anyone?
