I know some of you tune in to the 'C' Word on RTE 2XM every Monday night and that some of you based in the USA can get a chance to listen to thre Wednesday repeat.   I also know that it's not always easy to take the time out.   Well. the good news is that from the Summer the 'C' Word, along with all the other 2XM programmes will be available on the RTE player on the RTE website.   Just keep a lookout for our swanky new photo . . .

We've just been asked to play this year's Flat Lake Festival at Hilton Park in Co. Monaghan.   It's happening over the weekend of June 3rd - 5th.   It's one of my all time favourite festivals , both as a performer and as an audience member so I'm really looking forward to it.   I don't know exactly what slot we'll be playing yet but as soon as I do, I'll update things here.

Peter Nagle, who puts together the excellent '2UIBestow' blog on Irish music has chalked up his 1000th blog - that's 3 zeros - one thousand blogs, which is quite an astonishing achievement.   To celebrate the fact he's been revisiting his favourite music over the course of the bogs life and has even put together his top twenty-five favourite tracks during that time.  I'm delighted to say the Ghost In My Car has made the list.   You should pop over to 2uibestow.blogspot.com/2010/08/list-best-25-songs-in-life-of-2uibestow_13.html and check out his excellent taste in music.

I'm playing at the Glor Sessions in Dublin's International Bar tonight.   The Glor Sessions are run by slam poet Stephen James Smith and are well worth checking out even if I'm not on the bill.   Hope to see some of you down there!

I was asked to record a version of a Joy Division song for a special edition of the Green Room on Cork's 96FM which will be broadcast on Saturday 5th June between 6.00 PM and 8.00 PM.   A couple of the big tracks were already spoken for but luckily 'Atmosphere' wasn't and I really wanted to try something with that.   You can tune in on the internet if you're not from Cork . . . just go to www.96FM.ie and click on their Listen Live button.

The other acts involved in the special are La Belle Alliance, Wasps vs Humans, Ollie Cole, Ann Scott & Karl Odlum, Beastmen, Ian Whitty, Katie Kim & John Haggis, Windings and Annette Buckley
