We wanted to let you know that we are working on some things behind the scenes. Our hearts and minds are full and fizzing and we have things we want to share. We can’t say too much at the minute but please stick around if …

The Factory Sessions, Armagh 🟥

This was such a special show. Playing Grandstand in such an intimate environment was something we’ll never forget. Thank you to everyone at Southern Regional College for having us, and to everyone who came down. It was a pleasure meeting so many of you ✨

Belfast 🟥

Thanks to everyone who came down early to the Ulster Hall | Live Entertainment Belfast to see us supporting ASH. What a privilege to support a band we’ve loved for years in such an iconic venue. and to join them on stage for a song was the icing on the cake!

In 2020, I took part in an event at Ulster University, discussing chapters of Resist!, an incisive collection edited by these wonderful academics. I was instantly inspired to continue studying pop culture. It’s such a joy to now be working with Giuliana & Victoria as I start my PhD! 🩷

We are buzzing to be joining ASH for their show at the Ulster Hall on 19th December. One of our first ever tours was supporting these legends across the UK, so we are so excited to share a stage with them again. (and the mighty Wynona Bleach) ✨

Unboxing the new book, Terri Hooley: Seventy-Five Revolutions. Exciting! Looks even better than expected. Book launch is Oh Yeah Music Centre, Thurs, Nov 23, 7pm. See bio for online availability. ✊

We’re live in session tonight on the Stephen McCauley show ❤️‍🔥

Tune in from 7pm on BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Foyle and @bbcsounds to hear us playing some songs from Grandstand.

my dream job is I go on a really long walk every morning, 3-4 hrs, come back to my desk at lunchtime and then write a 3000 word report on the walk. End of day, send report to an email address that never ever replies
