Crewger night was magical in The Shed. It is amazing what Elizabetta has done with that warehouse… it was one of those great great parties… where you meet artists without meeting assholes…. rare.. My two friends did their thing, Kathleen O’Rourke with her comedy partner, Gearoid Farrelly – and Clodagh Downing.. It was great. Myself [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, so much to do, have wonderful new producer to help, sat with him and conspired in Dalkey last night. There was an electricity cut so we talked in candlelight – quite magical… I always sense wonder in the air when I meet a new artist to take part in the process. Keith [...]

Went to see the crewger filmings last night with Fiodor and the crew… Very impressed with night. Especially enjoyed a film called, ‘The White Dress.’ [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen! It’s all guns blazing to get this Christmas show going!!! I am no longer the pensive philsophisizing writer – but the buzzy business-minded impressario! Love it! Don’t forget to come to the Cobalt this Christmas 19th December – to be a part of the documentary in the making. If you’re interested in [...]
