Go Deep, Friday 24th February

Towards the end of each month a little excitement starts to build in the studio. Sometimes the previous weeks have been spent deep in the music machines. Sometimes we've been traveling. Sometimes, if the weather has been good, we've been sitting on our arses, watching the world go by. The last week of the month, though, is always special. The new tracks that have accumulated since the last Go Deep party are added to any classics that have sprung to mind. Early in the week we might hear word from friends around the country that are planning a trip south. If it's a big night - the birthday party in November or around Christmas - it can get a bit crazy. If it's a regular month - say February - it's more relaxed. But regardless of the time of year or what we've been up to for the previous few weeks, Go Deep is always our highlight of the month.

It helps that we've been playing this music here in Cork across a generation - for today's Go Deep regulars in the Pavilion, for their older brothers and sisters before them,  even for some of their parents, aunts and uncles before them again. That's a deep well to draw on and, if tapped in to, can be more satisfying than any other place we've played over the years.

So, as it's the last week of the month, we're in a Go Deep state of mind. We'll be in the Pavilion on Friday night. Get down!
