I’ve got unfinished business with kilkennymusic.com. As an online resource, it was borne out of a passion for music and local music in particular. Kicking things off in 2005, I built the platform to share and promote activities of bands on the ground in Kilkenny. In a pre-Facebook era it was the go-to place for…
Appearing online yesterday, here’s the latest music video from Kilkenny’s The Midnight Union Band for their track, If You’d Stay. Shot by Darragh Byrne in Set Theatre, Kilkenny. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming debut EP Behind The Truth which lands on 13 September.
If you’re not a reader of KilkennyMusic.com you might have missed a ticket giveaway there.

KCLR96FM are a great bunch. They’ve had me on the air countless times over the last three years to promote everything from Kilkenny Music to the Blog Awards, PodCamp to Devious Theatre and beyond.

Bandcamp Screencast from Ethan Diamond on Vimeo. Cheers to Will Knott for the nudge on this one but it looks like BandCamp.mu has gotten underway and could provide a nice outlet for bands looking to distribute music online and further enhance their fan base. On the front of things from watching the screencast (above) it…
The much rumoured and often spoken about ‘MySpace Music’ service has come to light, as I read this morning that MySpace have officially announced their new ‘MySpace Music’ service, a partnership between News Corporation and “three out of the four top record labels”. The service is looking to become a one-stop shop for everything music;…
I’ll be giving a half day beginner blogging course in Kilkenny in May under the ArtLinks banner.
