TICKETS

The man, the myth, the legend. Dundalk's Jinx Lennon joins us in Curveball on April 17th for a very special show.

JINX LENNON

You have to get the weight of the town you come from. You have to write with guts about the potholes you walk round and the manholes you step upon, the screams and cries that you encounter, the guff that aims to nail you and the bits of light amongst the drab white concrete. Jinx Lennon does this and more for the Irish borderlands.

Inspired by unhinged gospel preachers from the movie 'The Apostle', mind numbing factory workweeks, smug government scheme overseer faces and excruciating embarassment of being a guilt ridden catholic survivor - join Jinx through the cracked lens of punk,noise, north east borderland raps, confused taped voices and neanderthal garage rock and you will hear the stories unfold, some which are still being formed as we speak.

2025 saw the release of Jinx Lennons 13th record "The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope " with the emphasis on the word hope. Now the next chapter unfurls. For any musician you are only as good as your last show and Jinx always plays like the only time that matters is right this minute .

WASPS vs HUMANS

Initially a solo project, WvHs punk poet/drummer, Carl Antony Plover has opened for the likes of John Cooper Clarke, Whipping boy, and a daring opening set for Mark E Smith's The Fall.

As a musician, he has released an album and single with 80’s Avant Garde band 4,000,000 Telephones, with critical acclaim in the UK national press and making the playlist on BBC radio's John Peel show.

Having partnered up with musician wife Linda Plover, WvHs have honed a distinctive punk/folk sound over the last eighteen months, whilst promoting their debut album, 'Scratchcard Empires' a dark take on life’s expectations, dealing with disappointment, inner city violence, an obsessive fame craving culture, with a huge dollop of desperation.
