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.

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.
