"We should organise a helicopter between Dalston & Cork" - The Urban Voodoo Machine
"One of the most underground, word-of-mouth events in Cork in recent months has been Gypsy Hotel. It is held the last Sunday of every month in the Crane Lane Theatre. The organisers claim it to be a “Bourbon-Soaked, Snake-Charmin' Rock 'n' Roll Cabaret” night, and they don’t let you down; everyone dresses to the nines, and the venue has an atmosphere to match."
- The Evening Echo
Who I'd like to meet:
my match and my maker, preferably in that order and in unrelated incidents!
Oh and this bunch of good lookin' fuckers, again, soon!
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
