The Rye — Kevin Melly (vocals, acoustic guitar), Anna Falkenau (fiddle, backing vocals) Alan Walsh (banjo, electric guitar, backing vocals), Barry Wallace (bass, banjo) and Desmond Harrington (drums) — have been spending much of this summer in the studio recording their debut album. It promises to be one of the buzziest albums to be released in 2010. Each song on the album has a very distinct identity, ranging from the highly charged ‘There’s A Moth at Your Window’, over the jazzy-snappy ‘Lovebirds’, the quirky ‘Wondering the Why’, to the touching ‘Dance With You’.

I have been aware of Sheridan’s on the Docks since it opened; however my impression was that it was a bar that served bar food and most likely lots of cheeses from Sheridan’s cheesemongers. It is difficult to spot as you whizz past in a car, indeed the signage can only be spotted if you are directly in front of it. However this is a premises worth finding as some pretty exciting things are happening in the kitchen upstairs.

The scenic village of Belcarra was a hive of activity on Tuesday night but it wasn’t the Tidy Towns judges who were due to visit this mild autumn night. Someone had the idea of turning the sacred church car park into a sex fest orgy.

I used to work with a journalist who when he’d receive phone calls from irate mothers bemoaning why their son’s courtcase was splshed across the paper bringing shame to the family, he’d calmly tell her “sure now Ma’am, wouldn’t it be worse if he came in and told ya he had cancer.” It was a ploy that inevitably worked as it proved the first point of agreement between the caller and himself. Always comparing your woe to something far worse is often a way of putting perspective on things. If you crashed your car, you could say, sure’ it’d be worse if someone was hurt, ‘tis only bent metal. If you stole somethng, you could say, arragh the way people are going on, you’d swear I killed someone.
