By No More Workhorse on October 21, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

Foil, Arms and Hog – Smock Alley – 25th Oct

By No More Workhorse on October 19, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Good to see Smock Alley broadening it’s horizons, by having some comedy for a change. It’s a lovely venue, which is worth a visit if you haven’t been already. Sadly, it’s unreserved […]

By No More Workhorse on October 19, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Another batch of good ones to throw on the heap of quality movies in the cinema over the last while. Tim Burton has answered his critics, with the arrival of Frankenweenie, which […]

By No More Workhorse on October 18, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Grizzly Bear on Jools

By No More Workhorse on October 18, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Grizzly Bear were on Jools Holland on Tuesday, and this is the result. They’re currently touring Europe and studiously ignoring Ireland! Shame on them…

By No More Workhorse on October 16, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Mark Kozelek and the Roots (?) play Mistress on Jimmy Fallon. There’s also a version of the wonderfully named ‘The Moderately Talented Yet Attractive Young Woman vs the Exceptionally Talented Yet Not […]

Gig Guide – 16-10-12

By No More Workhorse on October 16, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve been a bit lazy with the gig guide of late, so apologies for the lull. Too many plays I guess… So, after the Beck Vier Weekender this weekend, which includes the […]

Things to Do in Dublin – 15th – 21st Oct

By No More Workhorse on October 15, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

A moment silence for the Theatre festival, sigh, so we’ve another year to wait for the madness to begin again, but what is there to occupy us for the next seven days. […]

By No More Workhorse on October 14, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Your Brother, Remember? – Project Arts Centre – Review

By No More Workhorse on October 14, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Another odd ball piece of theatre, which would no doubt annoy our friend Fintan but would leave the rest of us with a smirk on our faces! Zachary Oberzan is one of […]

Ellie Goulding – Halcyon – Album Review

By No More Workhorse on October 13, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

The Coming Storm – Samuel Beckett Theatre – Review

By No More Workhorse on October 13, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Forced Entertainment’s production of  ‘The coming storm‘ is a a loose and free flowing piece of theatre, which is enjoyable and well paced.  It develops slowly from the initial scene with six […]

Movies – 12-10-12 – Ruby Sparks

By No More Workhorse on October 12, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Am I the only one that thinks the plot of Ruby Sparks sounds like Weird Science? I’m sure it’s more thoughtful and considered than Weird Science, but I’m also pretty sure it’s […]

Patrick Wolf – Sundark and Riverlight – Review

By No More Workhorse on October 11, 2012 • ( 3 Comments )

Ok, so I’ve always had a bit of soft spot for Patrick Wolf. I’ve always liked his strong eye for visuals and his ability to jump between – and mix-up – genres […]

Fishamble’s production of Silent is a one man show written and starring by Pat Kinevane that deals with some difficult issues in a humorous fashion. Kinevane plays Tino McGoldrick (named after Rudolph […]

Record – Dylan Tighe – New Theatre – Review

By No More Workhorse on October 9, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

Record is another unusual body of work, described by writer/ singer/ guitarist and actor (That’s a heck of a lot of slashes) Dylan Tighe as a ‘project’, as not only is it […]

Josh (Spain) Haden’s new solo project – Dead Sea Scrolls

By No More Workhorse on October 9, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

My soft spot for Josh Haden’s music goes back to one song ‘Every time I try’, which became the soundtrack to a summer in Sydney, Australia. The wonderful Triple J radio station […]

Whistle in the Dark – Gaiety Theatre

By No More Workhorse on October 7, 2012 • ( 1 Comment )

This is the first of the Druid Murphy plays I saw, as I seem to have booked them out of order! As they were not originally meant to be a trilogy, and […]

By No More Workhorse on October 7, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )
