1-2-3 sorry it's so short...

Hi all,

I haven't had a chance to post this week what with trying to catch up with myself after my 10 days at the Bantry festival. My lickle sister is getting married next weekend and I am rehearsing with a few friends as we're singin in da church so all busy busy. No time to post a full tips this week but the next one will go onto http://www.corklivemusic.blogspot.com/ as planned so do sign up if you want to get it.

3 things I wanted to say tho...

1. Two-time Polka are launching their new CD tonight 7-9 in the Crane Lane should be a barrel of fun.

2. I'm organising this gig tomorrow night, it'll be a lot of fun so if you are not going to Oxegen, Kinsale or Carrigaline come on down to Cyprus Avenue for an evening of great music and good craic. Samuel James is, as I type, in the baggage collection area of Cork Airport - he's come all the way from Portland, Maine to share his music - please come and support! And afterwards Harry J, Niwel and Rory will have some sweet reggae harmonies to bring the sunshine even if HAARP is determined to keep the rain falling on us til our spirits are so sodden we'll do anything... It's at 9pm tomorrow Saturday 12th and is €10 in.

3. Some of you may not be familiar with Cork Autonomous Zone on Barrack Street. It's a special place where various community, activist and creative groups meet as well as being home to Barracka Books bookshop. The space is rented and everyone who uses it makes a small contribution to its cost. The space could be used alot more though so if you need space for something or would like to meet people who are using it and help them decide on CAZ's direction come along next wednesday 16th at 8.30pm. As Niwel would say, it's an open sea, no sharks or jellyfish...
