Let’s pretend for a moment that we’ve gone back in time to a few weeks ago and it’s still the run up to Christmas. That way I’m not ridiculously later with this post!

The Hot Press annual Round Table discussion. 2010 included Jinx Lennon, R.S.A.G., Conor Cast of Cheers, Andrew Strong (Mustang Sallllaay), Maud & The Cahoots, May Kay Fight Like Apes. Great craic was had as the hot whiskeys flowed and for the first year ever no one put up a fight with the tinsel & Santy hats! Whoo!

The Hot Press Music Show 2010. Every year Hot Press out do themselves by putting on a bigger and better Music Show. This year was definitely a tear to be proud of. Cast Of Cheers, CODES & Fight Like Apes played, so I was happy. It also featured Damien Dempsey, Republic Of Loose, Cathy Davey and loads more.  If you’re a music nerd it’s totally the place to be with Roland, Zidjlan and every other major music company represented. If only I knew how to play an instrument… not to worry though as we had our very own Rock Photo exhibition too!

first pic had to go to CODES… they always steal the show.

Never fails to be one of the greatest weekends of the year. Nice bit of sunshine and many a secret performance. As always, these images are for sale in lovely big prints or electronically. I also have many more to choose from so drop me a line if you fancy.

Peace and Fucking,

Hotpress Music Show (RDS)

Posted in Bands I've shot!, Christy Moore, codes, Dirty 9's, Fight Like Apes, Gemma Hayes, Glen Hansard, Horslips, Imelda May, Luka Bloom, Speech Debelle with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 6, 2009 by RM

ok… so if you work for Hotpress, there is no Christmas, no Birthdays, no nothing… as everything is geared towards that one weekend in October when the entire Hotpress camp is relocated to the RDS for the Music Show. And ya know, there is never an ill word spoken about Hotpress during these days, as it is obvious just how vital the magazine is to the Irish music community.

My job this weekend was to snap the feck out of the show. Mostly people photos, which was a welcome break from live photography. I also headed to the Music Show Afterdark session in the Academy where Speech Debelle and David Kitt tore it up…and May Kay (FLApes)and BP Fallon spun some insanely pleasurable tunes! (Tom Vek- yea ya would!)

Not 100 percent blog relevant… but still music and photography, so why not!

Much love to each and every wonderful new friend I met over the days… thanking you x

Smashing night all round with each band playin three songs.  Had to crawl around on me knees and battle it out with about 10 other snappers for these pix… hmmm… not impressed, but worth it i guess!

Congrats to Richie Jape Egan for getting the recognition (and 10 grand) he deserves!

enjoy the pix, more to follow on www.Hotpress.com
