    Many people have sat on this bench in Bishop Lucey Park. I’ve got photos of some of them. I’ll post them here in a few years time.

  • Pet Shop Boys at the Marquee

    Pet Shop Boys at the Marquee

    The Pet Shop Boys played to a capacity crowd in the Marquee, Cork, last night and it was a great night. We bought the tickets originally in 2019 for a 2020 show but then the COVID19 pandemic happened and everything was cancelled that year.

    The Examiner has a great write up of the concert (archive.org copy) of the event.

    The British electro-pop duo were anything but boring, attracting a packed crowd that ranged across all ages, with families, groups of friends, and couples all bopping and clapping side by side through the night.

    If fans have learned anything over the Pet Shop Boys’ 40-year long career, it’s that Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe know how to put on a show, and from the moment they sauntered on stage wearing their mad-scientist inspired outfits they had the audience in the palms of their talented hands.

    An Impossible View

    Many of the buildings in this photo are now gone, replaced with imposing glass frontage, or in the case of The Sextant there’s nothing there but a car park.

    Homeless in Cork

    A mural called “What is Home?” painted by Asbestos. A figure wearing a cardboard box on it’s head looks out on a derelict site next door, and across the road the site of the new convention centre, if it is ever built..
