Rebel Yells: ERIN GO BRAGH...

It's sooo cheesy when big rock stars come to your town and give a big-shout-out in the native tongue, and predictably the crowd go crazy! Well, Billy Idols seems to have a unique slant on the practice...

BILLY IDOL @ THE POINT

While watching the MTV European Music Awards each year it always makes our skin crawl when celeb after celeb walk-out onto the stage and say something in the native language, really badly...

Indie Rock band, the excellent Bloc Party were also around Dublin over the past few days...

JAMIE CULLUM @ THE POINT

Jamie Cullum, Britain's fastest rising jazz star, played the National Stadium on Monday night with a high energy yet intimate performance with tracks from his latest album Catching Tales. Jamie delivered a another fantastic set.

PORTIA FREEMAN, PATRICIA MATZDORF & SOPHIE HOLMES @ ALLSAINTS
