Rainy Sunday Afternoon. Another winner from The Divine Comedy. Silly songs, contemplative songs, epic songs, insanely catchy songs. Brilliant.

NewDad's Alter is full of catchy, snappy tunes. Fair dues to them for saying its about tough times. They've channelled it in a sophisticated, souped-up version of their earlier work. Rewarding stuff.

Exuberant, joyous show by The Beths tonight at The Button Factory. However, a highlight was the much more intimate Mother, Pray For Me, from their latest album. Onwards & upwards, so good to see them progressing over the years, from the Grand Social onwards.

Julia Kelly's Still is totally enthralling - I read the c.150 pages in two sessions. A memoir centred on her mother's death, it depicts the life & foibles of a family in incredible detail. Very much a product of their environment, 20th century Dublin. 1/2

The Prefab Four. A nickname to be worn with honour. For Pete's Sake, which used to end the shows when I was watching them in black and white, sounding gloriously colourful on the Late Show

Another gem from the When Will They Ever Learn box set. Cherry The Reddest Of The Red. Up until I had sense, I always associated this song with the failed 'A' side of Maggie May. Now airing on the Late Show

The Write Stuff at Chapters Bookshop. Steve O'Toole, Tony St Ledger, Sean Walsh & Jane Gorman ( who I regretfully neglected to photograph ) entertained & provoked tonight, with a backdrop of the street theatre on Moore St & Parnell St. Mighty stuff.

Superb show tonight in Wexford by The Waterboys. Tight ensemble, doing workouts of the favourites , along with a selection from the current album about Dennis Hopper, all too brief as I'd gladly have heard it in full. Mike's vision is as thrilling as ever to behold.

The Undertones and The Boomtown Rats at Swords Castle 🏰 last night. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. As front men go, Paul McLoone and Bob Geldof are outstanding. Two amazing bands on one stage. What a night.

Public housing designed by Herbert Simms in the 1930s looked particularly handsome in tv series Mix Tape, as Dublin posed as Sheffield. Marden Dean was the cinematographer for series.

The Llibreria Altair bookshop in Barcelona has a eclectic range. Its Irish section includes The Weaver's Grave by Seumas O'Kelly (1881-1918). Alas they repeat the inaccuracy that he was at college with James Joyce.

Back in blissfully cool & rainy Dublin, thinking about the great drying to be had in the inferno like heat above the streets of Barcelona.

I didn't take many photos in Barcelona. Between the heat, cautiousness about my phone being nicked, the power in the damn thing constantly running low because I was always using it for directions and sitting around and trying not to melt , I focused on just taking it all in. Sensory overload etc.
