The Horrors at The Academy, Dublin

The band generate a sort of old-fashioned fervour and excitement, and they sent most of the audience humming happily into the night.

Ryan Adams at The Olympia Theatre

Opening the evening on guitar with Oh My Sweet Carolina, he cut a Neil Young-like figure, with non-showy, yet mesmerizing musicianship.

Bill Wells & Aidan John Moffat at Grand Social

It’s somewhat tricky to review a night like this. With Moffat & co, you’re either in or you’re out. The whole set was particularly mellow but the material has a warmth which works live.

Mark Lanegan at The Academy, Dublin

It was not a life-altering experience but it wasn’t meant to be. Simply some fine songs performed well to a very appreciative crowd.

The Minutes at The Academy

The whole set was fast and hard from start to finish. They managed to try out some new material which was well received. It’s always nice to see hardworking bands reap their rewards.
