Every year, Rory Gallagher came home to Cork to play Macroom, Ireland’s first open-air rock festival. In 1978, he made it legendary. He rolled up in a car, grabbed his battle-scarred ‘61 Strat, ran straight up the steps with no soundcheck, and tore into “Shin Kicker.” Pure rock and roll.

Birthday present from the sister. Might well be my favourite Oasis record. Arses are well kicked on side two.

Life and Everything In It: Reviewed the marvellous Stations by Louise Kennedy for the Irish Independent. It's out today and you should buy it. @BloomsburyBooks @Independent_ie independent.ie/entertainment…

Louise Kennedy delivers a fearless, cliché-free story on the hormonal chaos of awkward young love

‘Stations’ is a razor-sharp reminder of those bumpy adolescent years, following the story of Róisin and Red on both sides of the Irish Sea
