CODES at The Sugar Club last night.
Would have perhaps had more photees (good ones) but the lads only played for about half an hour which was a little bit disapointing. They are fucking brilliant all the same.
Betamax Format at HWCH last night.
Hang Sangwich at HWCH last nite
SUPER EXTRA BONUS PARTY
last night at Hard Working Class Heroes.
LEDGEBAGS.
CODES – Sugar Club tonight.
I cannot stress enough how amazing this band is. They contacted me a few years ago (probably 3 I think?!) To do a promo shoot. I have been slightly obsessed with their music ever since. And the thing is, they keep getting better and better (I don’t quite know how this is possible..)
Do buy their single ‘Edith’ which features my artwork on the cover. And do check them out tonight at The Sugar Club. They are one of the best Irish bands around at the moment.
Loaded: Hard Working Class Heroes have much more than music
From the Irish Independent yesterday.
One of the more interesting features about this weekend’s Hard Working Class Heroes festival is the extensive rock photography exhibition which will be shown in the Pod Complex. Featuring the work of a slew of dedicated music photographers, the piece de resistance is the Irish premiere of the Rolling Stones tour diary from 1975. It’s the moment when the band was at its most potent in concert and the shots come courtesy of Getty Images.
There are also selected photographs from Irish photographer Roger Woolman, who has been making a splash internationally over the past decade.
Among the other photographers exhibited are pieces from the super-talented Israli-born, Dublin-based Lili Forberg. To get an idea of her work, take a look at www.misslili.net

Journey to the bottom of the salty sea – guest post by Iany
It might surprise those aware of my past as a pirate, to learn of my fear for the salty sea. But if my feet couldn’t touch the bottom, I tended to panic a bit.
That all changed today however with my first scuba dive.
I wanted to use the fact that I was recovering from a vicious and unprovoked attack from a jelly fish about the size of a house as a get out, but I had to redeem myself after wussing out of the boomerang in Aqualand.
He did however seem like a safe pair of hands and I felt our chances of survival improve to about 90%. After Olivier talked us through the process of diving we were given our flippers, our wet suits and our gas tanks with floatation jackets (all of which weighs 20 KGs!!)
He showed us how to breathe and how to inflate and deflate the jacket to rise and sink into the water. He also explained all the important hand signals for “is everything ok?”, “how much air is left in your tank?” or the thumb up signal for “GET ME OUT FAST!”
We both looked like hot mommas in our wet suits. for sure. Although I think I looked like a sock full of potatoes.
We waddled into the sea and put on our flippers. At this point I was definitely shitting myself because I knew I had reached the point of no return.
We put in our breathing mouth piece thingy (the technicalities are really important) and followed Olivier into the depth of the salty sea.
The feeling of being submerged is the most incredible weightless exciting bizarre sensation in the world.
Totally amazing. We saw some nice fishies too. I like fishies.
its finally so so so so sunny today
Spent the whole morning at the Beach so my tan is coming along quite well. I finally wore my goggles today so I saw all the little fishies around me. Cutesies!
this is The Boomerang, the crazy scary ride we went on yesterday in Aqualand in Magaluf. I thought we were going to go over the edge many a times. But we didn’t thankfully.
We had the yummiest seafood grill mmmmmmmmmm. actually everything tastes good at this stage because the food at our hotel is so so gross. Nasty McGross.
Iany found a sticker in his paella today. But the waiter said we didn’t win a prize.
We went to Aqualand today which was so much fun. There was a ride called the Boomerang which was actually very scary. Poor iany almost had a heart attack. I wanted to do it again but he didn’t want to.
Then when we were done it started PISSING rain like crazy.
I am basically kicking Iany’s ass in pool and ping pong. CHAMPION!
I am feeling a bit nervous about scuba diving on Tuesday. I went snorkling again today and didn’t like it at all. I felt panicky or something.
Sangria is calling! byesies!
Mallorca!! day 1
It is cloudy today which is so sucky but still very warm. I am going scuba diving on Tuesday. So excited. have always wanted to go so yaysies!
