Another reminder about the Fleadh
Right, not only am I sorting out a summer trip to Dublin, but forget not - a little bit of Ireland is coming to me this year, in the form of The Fleadh.
You know already that some ace names like Bob Dylan and Billy Bragg are playing, so in today's missive I'll be focussing a little lower down the bill. Today's highlight: Fionn Regan
Fionn is from the outskirts of Dublin, and cites Neil Young, Tom Waits, The Beatles and The Clash as influences, he's supported the likes of Turin Brakes and Damien
Rice. His Barfly Acoustic shows were a rip roaring success, and though I didn't see them I've been assured he's great.
Get Fleadh tickets here and prop up popex. They're a fairly weighty £38.50 plus booking fee, but children under 13 are admitted free when accompanied by a ticket holding adult.

Koreans are worth catching...
Oooh! It's getting hot in herre! So come up to Kings Cross! Or
something.
Cos it's summer and Bob's is back again with the best party this side
of a
blingbling bunker. And the talent for this month are straight outta the
bunker. The disused Railtrack Munitions bunker on the wrong side of the
tracks connecting Blackfriars to Herne Hill, to be precise.
More to the point, our esteemed guests The Koreans' first ever gig was
at
the legendary Jonathan Richman of the Modern Lovers fame's wedding
reception, for an audience that included Dr John, Elvis Costello, De La
Soul, Kim Deal, Ray Davies, Tom Waits, Sun Ra (and his intergalactic
Arkestra) and Jonathan himself, who graciously provided The Koreans
with
support. Needless to say, the entire congregation thoroughly enjoyed
the
Camberwell scallywags' guitair-swinging, disco-loving, theremin
frotting
antics.
Their debut single Machine Gun is out on Drowned In Sound on July
21nd and
was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley (Elvis Costello / Teardrop Explodes). It's going to go off for this skewed pop-worshipping guitar
band par excellence, so catch 'em now while they're hot.
Uncle Bob's Wedding Reception is the first Saturday of the month at the Water Rats, Kings Cross, you can sometimes get advanced tickets here.
Ooh just realised I will be in BELGIUM that weekend!
