Colm Mac Con Iomaire

Colm new website & Other Voices

Colm has a new website with all sorts of goodies on it. Expect new music this year!

Tonight! Colm is performing at Other Voices in Dingle. It will be streamed online at RTE as well as at The Guardian. Show stars at 8pm Ireland time, which is 3pm EST. We think Colm goes on around 9:45pm, but tune in earlier. Also on the bill is Bell X1, Foy Vance & Public Service Broadcasting. We’ll post a playback link here when it’s available.

The next day, Saturday the 8th, Colm will be playing 2 pieces of music during Jim Carroll’s Banter Salon session at The Cottage on Shipquay Street between 2-6pm. Photographer & filmmaker Conor Masterson will be there too talking about his film The Frames: In The Deep Shade which will be screened during the OneTwoOneTwo music documentary film festival at 5.30pm that day.

Round Up // October

Hi all! It’s been about 4 months since our last rundown of news & additions to the site, so here we go:

First off, In 2005 (& 2007) The Frames’ stellar merch manager Cherie kept a tour diary for theframes.ie as the band traveled around the US, Canada, Australia, Europe & then back to Canada & the US again! We’ve added to our archive here too with links that go to particular gig pages & other bits, if available. Enjoy!

**Glen and the band played lots of shows over the summer since our last blog update including one with Bruce Springsteen! Watch Glen, naturally, beaming while performing Drive All Night with Bruce & the E Street Band.

**One of these gigs took place at Iveagh Gardens in Dublin. Myles O’Reilly (aka Arbutus Yarns) captured the magic & made a 30 minute film of this special night. If you haven’t yet, definitely make some time to watch here.

**You can catch Glen’s whole set from the Haldern Pop Fest on 10 August here on the German television program Rockpalast.

**Last month Glen showed up to support his friend Mark Geary at the Grand Social in Dublin. Click here for photos & a video.

**A few days after that, Glen and the whole gang joined in as support for The Michael Buckley Band at Whelans. Here are some great photos from that show.

**Graham, Justin, Michael, Curtis & Ronan and friends have also been busy playing a couple of shows at Whelans as Square Pegs.

**In conjunction with the July Irish gigs, Glen did a few interviews:

Here with Miriam O’Callaghan subbing on The John Murray Show at RTE Radio 1.

Here speaking with Olaf Tyaransen for GAF TV before the Galway Arts Festival.

Here with Ray D’Arcy on TodayFM – skip to 29:00 – includes lovely acoustic versions of Lay Me Down & Revelate.

Glen Lisa Ireland Poster Final Small**There are 2 more tours to finish off a busy 2013: Glen solo around Ireland with Lisa O’Neill (which is mostly sold out) in October and Glen + the whole band in Russia, Europe & Ireland in November. This includes 2 gigs at Vicar Street 25 & 26 November. The 25th show is to aid the Peter McVerry Trust & Dublin Simon Community.

**On Halloween night, 31 October, Glen himself will join writer John Kelly for an evening of Music & Conversation at The Helix DCU in Dublin. You can still get tickets here for €25 on sale now here!

**Colm has been performing some around Ireland and is currently working on his 2nd solo record. He recently provided the music for a documentary called An Bhean A Shiúil Trasna Mheiriceá (The Woman Who Walked Across America) that aired on TG4 in Ireland. You can watch the film here on their site.

**Watch Glen & Colm perform (with a band) on the Czech late night tv show “Tečka páteční noci” – 3 songs at the start (Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting, High Hope, Talking With the Wolves) then Bird of Sorrow & Fitzcarraldo at 57:55, & Her Mercy at 1:05. Interview throughout the whole show. Neat format!

**The Frames recently provided their song People Get Ready to this video in conjunction with “Honor The Treaty” which asks the Federal Government of America to return Lakota lands to the Lakota Nation (also known as Sioux) as it committed to in the Treaty of 1868 (before gold was discovered in the Black Hills). You can check out their website and sign their petition here.

**In case you missed it before- Listen to this entertaining interview Graham did about the art of drumming with Dave Fanning during an RTE Radio series on the art of music.

**Speaking of Graham, he launched his own website back in the spring and Rob just did an overhaul of his as well. Have a look there at all his great audio engineer work in addition to his performance discography.

**We leave you with this gem – Glen brings “Bananaman” to an online tv show in Chicago called Adventure Sandwich!

 

Colm TG4 Documentary score

Colm provided the music for a documentary called An Bhean A Shiúil Trasna Mheiriceá (The Woman Who Walked Across America) that will air tonight (Sept 18) on TG4 in Ireland at 9:30pm. We’re sharing this description from the TG4 website because it sounds like an amazing story! We’ll let you know if this becomes available to watch online after it airs.

ETA: You can watch the film at TG4’s website here.

“Documentary on Mary Devine who emigrated, married a violent man and found herself isolated with him in the Mid-West of the USA. Undaunted, she did the extraordinary, put her child on her back and walked hundreds of miles to New York where she made enough money to pay her passage home. Having arrived in Cóbh she put the child on her back again and walked all the way home to Corca Dhuibhne where she lived out the rest of her life on her home ground. This is a story of emigration and the search for the elusive promised land but most of all it is a story of self-belief, hope and survival.”
