Everyone are a video design agency I came across through their work with Lullatone. I thought their video piece, Words, was worthy of a Videodrome slot. Beautifully shot and a lovely original […]
Videodrome: Everyone – Words
Gig Guide – 04-10-11
I’m way out of date with my gig guide, and for that I apologise! Haven’t done one for well over a month. Nothing jumping off the list really, in terms of new […]
Lullatone – “Growing Up” new music video
NoMoreWorkHorse favs Lullatone just released the first track from their upcoming album “Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures”. The video is gorgeous and fun as always and was, in their words, “shot in our […]

Nico Brown and Martin Brunsden are two musicians who create music workshops for children and we were fortunate to catch them recently at the National Concert Hall with our little fella. At […]
The animals and children took to the streets
What point is a review when a show is over? Not much use, I guess, other than to let you know how good my Sunday was! 1927‘s production of ‘The animals and […]
Dublin Theatre Festival – Final Call
Two days into the theatre festival, and I’m two plays in! Enjoying it so far, but there’s always something of value to see in it, especially from the foreign productions. Something that […]

Guest Post -Red State – Movie Review
Think this is a first for the workhorse! Don’t think we’ve actually had a genuine, honest to god movie review. Still, L.A. wanted the chance to wax lyrical about Kevin Smith, and […]
Red State
In a lead up to a guest post by L.A, I thought this was worth a mention. Kevin Smith used to be a director that split the vote, some loved him and […]
Jeffery Lewis
Jeffery Lewis has the life. Really he does. By day, he’s a comic book writer and artist, and by night a rock star. It doesn’t come much better than that in my […]
St. Vincent
St. Vincent was almost sold out, and then it wasn’t! I was almost too late, and now I’m not. St. Vincent has moved from the Workman’s club to the Button Factory. It’s […]
Dublin Contemporary – Culture night
I think maybe I was a bit dismissive about Dublin Contemporary when I mentioned it first, but that was mostly as I had no idea of the size and scale of it. […]
Movies – 23-09-11 – Drive

Fringe Festival – Pope Bededict: Bond Villain

Mariachi El Bronx – Workmans Club
These guys were one of the highlights of the Breeder’s ATP a couple of years back. I never figured I’d see them again, but they’re coming to Dublin on Friday the 18/11/11. Cool […]
Guest Post – Hal Hartley
Another Saturday, another guest post. This time it’s by a blogless person, Lesley Ann Whelan, whose knowledge of obscure movie directors knows no bounds. Hal Hartley is an American independent movie director […]

Kanye West should stick to music?
Kanye and Rhymefest bizarrely made a pilot for a ‘Hip hop version of the Muppet Show’. Strangely it wasn’t picked up, but the director Konee Rok released a high light reel from […]

Scroobius Pip – Whelans
‘You see a mouse trap, i see free cheese and a fucking challenge’ The Scroobius one returns to town, but this time without his other half. He’s just released a solo album, […]
