Remember Wassuuppp?

This ad was a phenomenon 8 years ago, and it did my head in. It’s been updated with the original cast, not as a Budweiser ad but as a brilliant satire on the state of that nation, over there. Via Boing Boing.

Friday Music Video- Duke Special with the Inishowen Gospel Choir, Freewheel

This is an automated post, as I’m away in France this weekend.
Things are going very well for the Inishowen Gospel Choir. BBC Norn Irn came to McGrorys in Culdaff to shoot a special piece of the choir for an upcoming show on Duke Special. On the 17th October they will appear with Duke Special on the Late Late Show for Special’s new album launch. On the 18th October they appear in HMV Dublin, then they shoot up the M1 to appear in HMV Belfast. Then, and I believe this is an exclusive to Caricatures Ireland, they play a secret gig in the Oh Yeah Building in Belfast. Keep it to yourself, yeah?
The following week, the 25th October, they’re back in Belfast for Urban Hymns with Foy Vance, Bronagh Gallagher, Ciaran Gribben, Ken Haddock, Réa Curran, Burning Codes, Gabriel Makamanzi plus special guests.

Tigh Neachtains, the Time Machine

Neachtains Bar

Finally got to feature my favourite pub in Double Vision this week, Neachtains on Cross Street. It’s the one place that’s the same (give or take a few tweaks) as it was when I came to Galway in 1994. Everywhere else I used to frequent has had its guts ripped out and renovated, or else has become a strip bar (I’m looking at you Taylors, or Club Pervydiso as I think it’s now called).

It was a Monday and I only went in for a bottle of beer and a read, bumped into Charlie and the Snapper, and suddenly it was Tuesday morning and someone was inside my head attempting to scrape their way out. This phenomenon is known as Galway. There was some aytin’ done in Cava on Dominick Street as well, really nice place and a decent range of veggie tapas for fussy bastards like me. All that’s missing from the name is a nagh.

In my research for this drawing I also came across this video of De Dannan performing in Neachtains in 1983. All that’s really changed is the paint and the fashions. I think the people in the background are still there.
