Low!

 “You look like the kind of people who probably bump into each other a lot...maybe at the same library” - Alan Sparhawk of Low, nailing the audience demographic at last night‘s gig in Rouen.

I’ve loved Low’s melancholy songs, distorted guitars and eerie harmonies for some time, so it was a real treat to get to see them live.

They didn’t disappoint, with this being a highlight of the evening.

Here’s my favourite song from their new album, a classic, and a great cover

Goodnight Normandy!

What's Wrong With Dreaming?

River City People promo video for 'What's Wrong with Dreaming?'

I barely had a clue what I was doing. Talking to Jarlath recently reminded me of this promo, my very first outing as a lighting cameraman. It came out alright, though- I think wobbly cam was a thing back then. I connected with Siobhan again years later, and we got to hang out in Nashville when I was there to shoot a portrait for the So Far book.

Saw a great comment on the Youtube video, which I just had to respond to…

30 Hours in Dublin

A quick visit, but I was able to see something I often pine for when I’m in Paris.

I also got to pick up the Irish edition of Nicole Flattery’s new book, which I’m really looking forward to reading. Nicole is a brilliant, seriously funny writer. I met her shortly after arriving in Paris, and we did some portraits in the Centre Culturel Irlandais that have become her author pictures.

There’s another portrait of her in the ‘Writers’ gallery which is being used as the author picture in the UK edition of the book. It’s out today - highly recommended.

Cuban Love Songs

One of the photographs from a piece I did on Havana for the Irish Times is being used in this forthcoming anthology of Cuban poetry, designed by my sister’s company Kate Horgan Bespoke Books.

The rest of the Havana pictures and the article can be seen here.
