Theatrical one-man band Little John Nee [performing Sparkplug above] is doing a Fund It for his record, Songs From The Lough Swilly Delta.
Only three days left.
He’s a bit of a legend.
Video made In Donegal and produced by Tommy McLaughlin from Villagers.
“Well it was one those cold Winter nights, when the air is warm, the music’s right; I looked into your inhibitions…”

Funzo – Just A Thought
A love-filled day (without any naughty stuff) written and performed by Funzo (Liam McDermott) and co-starring Emma Elisabeth.
Mmmf.
In 2010, he gave us the Cowen/Lenihan-baiting singalong ‘We Are Where We Are’
Now Paddy Cullivan tears the latest state-imposed cliche a new one as Ireland ‘exits’ the bailout.
A festive Christmas 2013 anthem featuring Brian Moylett (drums) and Cormac Moore (bass).
Joy to the world.

If the idea of a breathy plea for multi-person, nether-hair contact doesn’t completely put you off your lunch.
The Late David Turpin – Fur
Directed by Turpin (and photographer Mark Duggan), starring actress Julie Shanley and inspired by Derek Jarman and Jean Cocteau, and shot in BelloBar (formerly The Lower Deck).
David sez:
Because we live in a pornographic society, hair – like all the realities of the body – is something we seem to either fetishise or attempt to eradicate altogether. Yet we’re all mammals, aren’t we? And whether it’s invisible down or black fuzz that extends across the back and shoulders, we are all covered in hair.”
Invisible down and back pubes?
Filthy beggar.

Rosie Lawless – Up Da Pole
“An inner city Dublin version of the visitation and immaculate conception done in rap form…”

Meghan Ali – “Coming Home”
Patrick O’Shea writes:
I’d like to share a music video I made with a local Cork singer-songwriter called Meghan Ali. It’s basically about the diaspora of Irish people emigrating/immigrating. It’s not your classic Christmas music video, nor does it ascribe to the style of Xfactor, etc. It’s had a really positive reaction thus far, we’re nearing 1000 views within 12 hours. We feature harp, double bass, and violin on the track with some top up and coming musicians in Cork…

I’m writing as half of the directing duo ‘Spiceburger’. We have just released this video for Dublin band ‘Bouts’. It was made with basically no money but a really dedicated and up for it cast and crew.
