Kerb your enthusiasm...!


Cormac Battle will be in to talk to Nadine about the legacy of his great and influential '90s rock band Kerbdog, ahead of Saturday night's launch of the album 'Pledge: A Tribute To Kerbdog' at The Academy. 

Plus, with Tim Burton's spectacular 3D Alice In Wonderland film now in cinemas, Nadine will be talking to Irish Times and Hot Press cartoonist Tom Mathews about the influence of Lewis Carroll's books on his work, and also to Professor Des McHale of UCC about the mathematical concepts Carroll wove throughout the Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass novels.

Andrew Lynch of the Evening Herald and Sunday Business Post will be in to review two new books: Andrew Rawnsley's critique of New Labour under Gordon Brown, The End of the Party, which gave rise to recent news speculation about Brown's alleged 'bullying' of his staff; and Joseph P. Kennedy Presents: His Hollywood Years by Cari Beauchamp, a fascinating account of JFK's controversial billionaire father.

Team Kiosk, Derek "Dr Beat" Byrne and Johnnie Craig, will be previewing some of the big albums to be released this spring, and Dr Derek will also be reviewing the new PS3 game, Heavy Rain.

Plus, we have a competition to win a goody bag of lovely new albums - and we'll be playing lots of great music too.

The Kiosk: usual times, usual place, unusually attractive people - please do join us!

Derek Byrne is February's 'Dr Beat'...

He's the O.N.E. - Derek tries not to look smug, with kingmaker Jo Gohmann

 

The Kiosk's Derek Byrne was today crowned February's "Dr Beat" (and Nadine O'Regan and Johnnie Craig will be only too happy to "crown" him) after our first 'patient' Jo Gohmann selected his track, Yeasayer's O.N.E. as her personal favourite from her 18-track mix CD.

A magnanimous but gutted Nadine and Johnnie have already sworn to redouble their efforts to steal said crown from Derek's head.  As things stand, Derek has already added letters to the end of his name and is wearing a grin that the next Dr Beat will have to surgically remove from his face.

The Kiosk team would like to thank Jo for being a great participant in our new venture and we look forward to working with many more musically needy patients over the coming months - next month, it'll be Phantom listener Aveen Holland.  Let the competition commence!
