This month on Tea Crowd, Phantom 105.2′s Michelle Doherty takes a break from presenting Finest Worksongs to join us on the sofa and chat dance moves and The Script, take on the Tea Crowd Teaser, and generally be one of our favourite guests ever. If you want to take on the Tea Crowd Teaser yourself and win a hamper of tea goodness from Lyons Tea, the question (and the answer) are in the video. Just leave your answer in the comments and we’ll pick a winner in next month’s episode. Good luck!

EleventyFour does not do four-to-the-floor kind of kicks; I just thought it made a nice little retrotechno title. We love Eleventy at Culch. You may have noticed already. We were utterly thrilled, then, to hear that the kooky cutie is making her Electric Picnic debut this year, playing the Love Letter Stage in the Body & Soul village on Saturday September 3rd. She’s also playing Hard Working Class Heroes in October, but we already told you that last week. Pay attention, for Christ’s sake. Anyway, Eleventy is so thrilled that we’re thrilled that she’s given us two copies of her very lovely debut EP, The Joy Imperative, to give away to a couple of readers willing to be thrilled alongside. Want one? Drop us a comment, telling us something that makes you smile, after the jump!

A seven-strong group of Culchies trouped into Cineworld last night to catch the eagerly, vocally and almost painfully anticipated Inbetweeners Movie. Watching a favourite show move to the big screen is like awaiting the birth of your first born and anxiously hoping it’s not going to be ugly. ‘We’ve already made the buy in, now don’t let us down’ territory. We took our seats and waited for the months of tension to end. Two hours later we had the answers to all of our questions. Did the big screen outing do the boys justice? Did we come away with a sense of closure? Can we even stand to write this while dealing with the developing sense of loss now that it’s over? It’s not easy loving pop culture, it only ever loves you back briefly.

Album Review: Peadar King The Shadowlands

The email for Peadar King’s latest album The Shadowlands came in as per the usual route, except, it was without a press release… Peadar who….? I don’t really mind not getting the blurb, but I’d never [no offence] heard of Peadar…. I’ll admit habits, good or bad, die hard. And like taking a quick leaf through a magazine whilst waiting for Mary [a lady's name chosen at random] to make a decision on whether the feck she really likes those shoes, I did the quick track shuffle through. All the while I’m canning the songs, in a tin, sealed, and there’s my label on it and then I pop them back on the shelf. I am, in short, seeking what is known as, the corker. That song. And you have ten seconds of an intro to drag me into your shop…… One to four goes like so:
