This is my first video review for Culch.ie, so I would appreciate any feedback you have, not just on the review but also on my irritating voice and awkward looking face. Camille O’Sullivan’s Changeling is a superb album, featuring a wonderful artist in her prime. Check out what else I have to say about her below. Changeling is available tomorrow in Dublin shops and will be on general release and on iTunes from 10th February. The excellent single Revelator is available now on iTunes, alongside Camille’s cover of Nick Cave’s The Ship Song. If you want to see her in person, she will be doing an in store appearance in Celtic Note, Nassau St, Dublin, singing few tunes and signing CD’s from 1pm tomorrow. If you are nearby, pop in before the match. She will also be on a tour of Ireland and the UK from 18th February. Check out … There’s more →

Yep, that’s right film fans, a new Irish festival on your doorstep. It can be more than a little tiring hearing about all these deadly film festivals abroad that one can’t enter for various reasons, so here at the Culch offices we are more than happy to say that a new festival is about to launch on our shores (yay!) that you, yes YOU can enter too. Launching on the 21st March this year, the Fingal Film Festival is now open for entries so that all you aspiring film makers can show off your skills. The fact that Fingal offers you a chance for an audience beyond your beloved (longsuffering?!) family and friends to see your work gives it major brownie points we think. Read on for all the details!

Ahead of Saturday’s first game of the Championship, here’s how Culch Towers thinks it will all play out. Ireland ‘Good but not good enough’ was Declan Kidney’s summary after a disappointing exit in New Zealand last year … that and an inability to change tack when things weren’t going their way helped bring about Ireland’s exit probably a game early at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. A semi final spot would have been a realistic measure of the current Irish rugby squad. Ireland’s 6 Nations Championship opener will come against more or less the same Wales squad that knocked them out of RWC11. With wounds from that loss licked but not yet fully healed, there may well be opportunity to take retribution on a weakened Wales side who travel to Dublin without key players - that must be considered a fortunate turn. That said, Ireland is not without its own … There’s more →
