Dublin pop songwriter Ivan St John, formerly Pinky, has been quietly plying his trade over the last number of years. Despite performing shows and touring with artists of the ilk of Camera Obscura, Richard Swift, Of Montreal, Rodriguez, Bowerbirds, and The Walkmen, he has avoided screechy hyperbole, choosing instead to get on with the work at hand. No scenester ligging, no grandiose claims to next big thing titles. Ivan St John has simply been playing and writing and recording and playing and writing and recording. Having grown up in St Patrick’s Cathedral Choir, Ivan has been cocooned in music since he was eight, inspired by the juxtaposition of listening to Paul Simon and Queen on the way to school and then singing Allegri’s Miserere in the evening. Fast forward 12 years and Ivan St John prepares to release his debut LP, Up To Snuff.

Who needs Lassie when you have Marley to keep you laughing, and crying?

Anyone who has ever had a dog as a pet will enjoy Owen Wilson’s latest movie Marley and Me to some degree. And for those who adore dogs and even sign their pet’s name on annual Christmas card this movie is a must see.

First and foremost a big thank you to the organisers of this year’s St Patrick’s Day parade.
