I'm starting the This Is Cork podcast from scratch, and the first episode is online now.

It's between me, Frank O’Connor, one half of Derelict Ireland, and Michael O’Sullivan, the instigator of a Meanwhile Use survey, which is running until end of April, the survey is here -> https://bit.ly/MeanwhileUse

We discuss how stopping vacancy stops dereliction, upcoming elections and policies and cover a lot of ground in between.

You can definitely find it here -> https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/661d4a86a66b730016d1a2f5 and it's up on Spotify too, it might take a while to get on all the directories.

There's also a bonus at the end, an exclusive listen to 'Aisling Gheal', the opening track of David Murphy's incredible album which gets released this Thursday.

This Is Cork Music

Pretty Happy are a three piece who sound a lot more than a three piece, and are equally prolific with their hands on output.

This is their new video Boots, it feature lots of post-punk and no disco which you can click on -> youtube.com/watch?v=Xg78AaXJ5kg

________________________________________

Describing themselves "sister-brother-best friend art-punk band from Cork known for intense theatrical live performances, and embracing the idioms and energy of their home city...

The band take this rebellious identity to heart in their characteristic musicality and their Cork accented stream of consciousness ravings...

Whilst their music at times may have a jagged edge, the band strives to promote inclusion.
