I’ve always thought I should like Ben Folds more than I actually do. I can’t quite put my finger on it, as he writes good music with interesting and quirky lyrics, and generally seems quite a likable nice guy. Maybe I should just work at it a bit harder.

The band are back together anyway, and playing Vicar Street on the 26th of November (still seems ages away, thankfully) with tickets from €43.

He describes his music as ‘Punk rock for sissies’ which I quite like…
