ON STAGE TURN

IT’S A once-a-year thing now when Ollie Cole, Ian Melady and Gavin Fox hit the stage to play muchloved songs like Beretta, Too Much Make Up and Queen Of My Heart. Though they may be following different musical adventures now, there is no doubt Turn created some of the finest songs in our rock catalogue. ÷ Whelan’s, Dublin, Dec 30, €20.

ON TV PHIL LYNOTT: SCÉALTA ÓN OLD TOWN

IN 1982 Phil Lynott recorded a song that would score itself into the Irish psyche. It wasn’t just the song though, the video for Old Town saw Lynott on a stroll around Dublin. This documentary tells the story of how the video came about through those who were there at the time and the impact it had on Lynott’s career.
