Yeah really liked the last one.....look forward to hearing it. Five star review in the Irish Times.

Went to see her in Whelan's last night as part of her residency there. Really enjoyed it, her songs are so well put together.

Saw the last Whelans gig too, good show. Some really nice songs, though occasionally a bit too cutesy or predictably singer-songwriterish for me.. Must check out that album anyway. Must say I'm not that keen on the new all-white Whelans - get some artists in to paint the place!

Its a belter alright.....great record.

Bought it today. It's wonderful, not Irish wonderful actual, proper, judged by any standards wonderful.

has whelans been painted all white?.... surely that's a big no-no as white reflects and black absorbs... maybe this doesn't apply to sound...

any audiophiles / scientists out there?

The sound absorbsion of white paint is approximately 2 decibels less per square metre than it's black counterpart. The only way to counteract this phenomenon is to apply a base coat of Magnolia before applying 2 coats of white emulsion. If using a matt based white, the factors are quite different though & the differentials are so complicated, that not even NASA have attempted to solve this conundrum.

This almost caused a revolution in the painting & decorating world in the late 1960's and actually inspired the Rolling Stones to pen the song "Paint it Black".

Who knew a Cathey Davey thread could be so interesting.

Was always impressed by The Clash's penning of "White Riot" as a riposte. Less convinced by Pavement's protest song "Black Out".

Now yer just makin' s**t up.

Ah, the poacher turns gamekeeper!

It's de truff, guv!
