Pure Grand – Pictures

Pop in the name of love.

Calling all Retro ’90s synth pop fans: Budding Irish star Pure Grand aka Luke Faulkner (top) channels Erasure and The Lightning Seeds in his new single which bounces along joyously as it tells the tale of a tentative romance.

Pure Grand has also created visuals for fellow Irish LGBTQ acts Jack Rua and Babylamb and last December directed, shot and edited CMAT’s Christmas special livestream.

His forthcoming EP is This Can’t Happen Again.

Nick says: This is pop, baby.

These days people swim in the sea
All year round, so experts agree
You can’t only test
When the weather’s the best
To keep bathers as safe as can be

I’m doing my skankin’ Social Dis-Dancin’ today. Celebrating for 71 minutes the music and message of Bob Marley, in a public display of affection. To celebrate his 36 Years as a ‘Soul Rebel’ and to commemorate 40 Years as a ‘Legend’. I will play all the Bob classics (real classics for the real fans) from a speaker at the bottom of the People’s Park in town.

Bring your positive vibes and let’s get together!

Jah.

Bring skins.
