Rainy Sunday Afternoon.
Another winner from The Divine Comedy. Silly songs, contemplative songs, epic songs, insanely catchy songs. Brilliant.

NewDad's Alter is full of catchy, snappy tunes. Fair dues to them for saying its about tough times. They've channelled it in a sophisticated, souped-up version of their earlier work. Rewarding stuff.

Exuberant, joyous show by The Beths tonight at The Button Factory. However, a highlight was the much more intimate Mother, Pray For Me, from their latest album. Onwards & upwards, so good to see them progressing over the years, from the Grand Social onwards.

Still a new memoir by Julia Kelly, the award winning author of My Lazy Eye and Matchstick Man β€” New Island Books A profoundly affecting memoir of grief that brings its subject to life in an unforgettable and unexpectedly joyous way. Still is a study of Julia’s grief, and the laying bare of her mother’s body – fi...

I was startled to see resonances of my own parallel experience, right down to the way my mother would also append 'DV ' (deo volente) to comments. A brave book, well done .

Julia Kelly's Still is totally enthralling - I read the c.150 pages in two sessions. A memoir centred on her mother's death, it depicts the life & foibles of a family in incredible detail. Very much a product of their environment, 20th century Dublin.

The Prefab Four. A nickname to be worn with honour.
