28 | 06 Jem Finer & Spider Stacy @thepoguesofficial In conversation with Donal Fallon @threecastlesburning (Féile MOTH) 📍 @lanzaroteworks Tickets on sale Friday 10AM via dice.fm Rocketing out of the vinyl, the three-minute blast of The Sick Bed of Cúchulainn is a perfect opener for Rum, Sodomy & The Lash: energetic but shot through with darkness and death while retaining an indefatigable determination. Shane reimagines Irish folklore warrior Cú Chulainn on his deathbed with operatic tenors John McCormack and Richard Tauber singing by his side. The song also name-checks Irish Republican Frank Ryan, who fought in both the Irish and Spanish Civil Wars. Indicative of MacGowan’s prodigious literacy and historical knowledge that informed his songwriting, it follows a similar – yet amped-up – narrative to traditional folk standard and Dubliners favourite Finnegan’s Wake; the protagonist is thought to be dead but revives to carry on drinking and carousing. “There’s a doughtiness there,” says accordionist James Fearnley, on how the opening track epitomises the album’s overall theme. “He’s just going to keep going. There’s a determination; despite the circumstances, we’re all going to live”. The album’s morbid mood is reflected by its sleeve. Suggested by Jem’s wife Marcia, it features the band members superimposed onto characters on The Raft Of The Medusa, a bleak 18th-century painting by Theodore Géricault that depicts dying and incapacitated shipwreck survivors floundering in turbulent seas, desperately clinging to the remains of a boat in anguish and despair, searching for a route to survival. It’s the ideal image to express the dark and haunted songs: the anti-war Wilfred Owen-influenced A Pair Of Brown Eyes and cover of And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda; the exhilarating but lachrymose Sally MacLennane; the plight of the Irish labourer in Navigator; the distressing ballad The Old Main Drag; the anti-imperialist satire of Billy’s Bones – and even the fate of an American Robin Hood-style folk hero. - Alex Burrows #ThePogues #RumSodomyandtheLash

24 | 06 An Evening with @horslipsofficial (Féile MOTH) Join Horslips’ Barry Devlin and Jim Lockhart as they sit down with author, lecturer and historian Donal Fallon (@threecastlesburning ) to dive into the “Original Kings of Celtic Rock”’s long and varied career, alongside archival video and sound recordings. 1973 album The Táin, recently crowned RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Classic Irish Album, places the band alongside previous winners such as Enya, Sinéad O’Connor and U2. 📍 @lanzaroteworks Tickets on sale 9AM Friday 10th April via dice.fm - Founded in 1970, one of the greatest and most important bands ever to come out of Ireland, Horslips pioneered a whole new style of music: Celtic Rock, a fusion of traditional music and powerful, electric rock’n’roll, packed with melodic hooks and instrumental virtuosity. Horslips turned fully professional on St Patrick’s Day 1972, a day that also witnessed the launch of their own record label and the release of their début 45, ‘Johnny’s Wedding’, with a press reception at Dublin’s cool new diner, Captain America’s Cookhouse. Over the next eight years they toured relentlessly throughout Europe, the UK and North America, while back home Eamon Carr, Barry Devlin, Johnny Fean, Jim Lockhart and Charles O’Connor took provincial Irish dancehalls by storm, creating a new rock music circuit and infusing the country’s disenfranchised youth with a new sense of cultural pride. In doing so, they paved the way for a new generation of bands, including the Undertones, the Radiators From Space and U2. #Horslips

In 1976, married musicians Daphne (Rosy McEwen) and Darcy Davenport (Dev Patel) move to the Welsh countryside to finish their new record. While making field recordings in the ancient woodlands, Darcy captures a forbidden sound not meant for human ears. This brings a strange boy to their doorstep who draws them into an enigmatic realm where the line between reality and myth begins to blur. ⬆️ TICKET LINK IN BIO ⬆️

At Chuck Kustom, Creativity Konnects sits at the heart of everything we do, 🌍 ❤️ On 07/02 we was honoured to present an Afro fusion dinner designed for our community⚡️ to form hope for alternative futures, shaped through repair, imagination, memory and continuity. It became a space to explore how new cultural materials and shared experiences could help rebuild what history attempted to disrupt. The distinction between past and future softens as we acknowledge and own the responsibility of holding together diasporic traditions that have often been structurally, systemically, legislatively and architecturally designed to break. Through Curated Pan-African recipes, architectural space, and community spotlight, it became our way to archive memory, deepen connection, and create conversations towards a shared progress of a new alternative future. Thank you to our partners: @lanzaroteworks @tros.london @mothershipheadquarters Thank you to our contributors: @_ephthat @sage.complex @_oliviaema @anuchaouj @sofisofilee 📸 ❤️❤️❤️

Footage and BTS stills from short film ‘A Stitch of Vintage’ shot at our studio last summer. ‘The fashion world is slowly beginning to evolve but older women are still too often left out of the beauty conversation.
