Red Brick House

Red Brick House are an Irish band who are renowned for their hook-laden and impossibly catchy songs. The four-piece graced the stage at Bundoran Sea Sessions and The Rory Gallagher International Festival in 2010 and have been gigging steadily for a number of years. Hot Press magazine described them as ‘a band that blends quality with some unapologetic commercialism.’

Having played bars, backs of trucks, on top of pallets and even a castle along the way, Red Brick House have honed their live set into a harmony-driven brand of alternative pop, blues, folk as well as some wisely chosen covers. They are a band born of the playlist generation. Combining Indie Rock, Alt Pop, Blues, Noise and even Country with no set style to confine them. The group have also supported renowned Irish acts Codes and Túcan, and take their influence from The Raconteurs, Rolling Stones and Radiohead.

Their EP can be downloaded in full from Bandcamp.

New balls!

The first Irish person to play at SW19 since Matt Doyle in 1984.

Maybe now will they build an Olympic-sized tennis court in Ireland?

Irish climber dies...

An Irish man has died attempting to reach the summit of Everest days after his wife gave birth to a baby girl.

John Delaney (above), 41, from Kilcock, Co Kildare, is understood to have collapsed less than 50 metres from the top. He is the first Irish man to die on the world’s highest mountain.

The climber, the managing director of an online market prediction company, died on Saturday but because his team was out of contact it has only just been confirmed.

Mr Delaney – who also had two young sons, Caspar, three, and two-year-old Alexander – died without knowing his wife Orla gave birth to a baby girl last Wednesday.
