The Spin is still on the BBC iplayer. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Two worthwhile records from the Irish borderlands, by The Shamrock Showband and Mark McCausland, aka McKowski. I really liked watching The Spin and the soundtrack is the best company.

My Self Aid review ran 40 years ago in Record Mirror. Chieftains, Pogues, Costello, U2, Clannad, Geldof, Christy Moore, Van, Gary Moore, a Thin Lizzy tribute & more. All the music family connections. Gael Force ascending. I also wrote about it in my book, The Song is Nearly Over. I'm still relating.

My take on one of the greatest decades. This is going to take much longer than I'd thought. I need to re-listen, and fact check. Hopefully I'll get it finished before I leave June 11th.
We were delighted to welcome Kevin Rowland of Dexys to HomePlace yesterday where he explored our exhibition and learned more about the life, work and legacy of Seamus Heaney. It was a real pleasure to share the story of our Nobel Prize-winning poet and the place that inspired so much of his writing!
