Mundy: 'The Lobby in Cork was the first place you'd plant your seed'
MUNDY'S ties with Cork go back a long way. Over three decades, he's played more than a dozen venues, at all angles of the compass, in the county. One of his first performances was at a festival in Noel C Duggan's arena at Millstreet, but his strongest memory is from a gig at the Lobby Bar — an iconic live music venue in Cork City. 'In the early 2000s, there was a great Irish music revival with all these acts... The Frames, Damien Rice, Mic Christopher, Gemma Hayes; Josh Ritter and David Gray were a part of it, too,' he says. 'The Lobby was the first place that you'd plant your seed. It might have held 90 or a 100 people but your career grew from there by selling out the Lobby a few times and then you'd go to a bigger venue.' 'One night, I did my own gig. The Frames were playing at the Marquee, with other great artists supporting them. They all ended up down in the Lobby after my gig. We took to the streets busking then after it, around the corner from the Lobby, all out playing guitars, singing and drinking, having the craic. It was a special night. I went on to Ballycotton the night after, and half of them followed me out there as well.' Mundy, 50, shot to prominence in 1996 when a track, To You I Bestow, from his debut album featured on the soundtrack for the hit movie Romeo + Juliet, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. His second album, 24 Star Hotel, released in 2002, features probably his signature tune, July, an incomparable ode to summer. # Mundy. Picture: Anthony Mulcahy Over the years, he's supported giants of the trade, including REM, Bob Dylan, and a personal hero, Neil Young, with whom he shared a stage at Dublin's old Point Depot in 1996. 'I got the biggest guest list ever for that gig, something like a hundred people,' he says. 'I couldn't get rid of the tickets, as in I didn't know 100 people in Dublin that would go! I was a huge Neil Young fan. I grew up in Birr, CountyOffaly. We played songs from Harvest and After the Gold Rush nearly every time we'd do a session in my parents' pub. I invited all my mates from Birr that were around. The guts of them came — even a friend of mine whose wife was due to give birth that night. 'I had the same booking agent as Neil Young. I met him after the gig. I said, 'Listen, thanks so much for making a dream come true, but I'd love to meet Neil Young.' He said, 'OK, let's go look for him.' We went backstage, couldn't find him. Went into his dressing room, it was all incense burning and Indian rugs on the wall. We went back out to the stage, and there he was in the middle of all the crew with a pair of leather gloves on, lifting up gear, packing it away with the roadies. Getting his hands dirty... not a problem for him.' 'The same night, Michelle Smith was going for her last gold medal in the Olympics, and we went to the bar, and I sat with Neil Young, and I had a couple of pints of Murphy's with him, and we watched her swimming. His dad was there. His dad lived in Howth for a while.' In 2008, Mundy teamed up with Sharon Shannon on Steve Earle's song, Galway Girl, leading to another summer anthem and a long-running chart-topper. Mundy has been a long-time collaborator with Sharon Shannon. His Christmas-time performance from 2008 of Rainy Night in Soho with Shane MacGowan, during a Sharon Shannon Big Band with Special Guests live recording for TG4, is worth digging out on YouTube. MUNDY, along with Nick Cave and Camille O'Sullivan, was one of the performers at their old friend Shane MacGowan's funeral in December 2023, in Nenagh, County Tipperary, only half an hour's drive from Birr, his hometown. The funeral Mass had several resonances for him. 'One of the amazing things was that the priest, Fr Pat Gilbert, who did the service, was my religion teacher in school,' he says. 'He baptised my daughter. He also brought music, rock 'n' roll, to our school — he brought a drum kit, a bass amp, and electric guitar into the classroom. There were two other priests from Birr on the altar too, so I felt really supported that day.' Mundy will perform at The White Horse, Ballincollig, Cork, 8.30pm, Friday, August 15. See:

RTE star Maura Derrane reveals ‘affordable' product that's a ‘lifesaver' for helping deal with ‘curly hair nightmare'
RTE star Maura Derrane has discovered a bargain hair product she swears by to tame her wild curls — and it won't cost you a fortune. The Today host has been gracing our screens with her brunette curls for over two decades - and here's how she keeps them in shape. 3 Maura Derrane is renowned for her brunette curls Credit: Social Media Collect 3 Maura showed the struggle she goes through to brush her curls 3 Maura used two affordable products to tame her hair Taking to Instagram, Maura posted a clip of herself struggling to detangle the "multiple" knots in her hair after a shower. The 54-year-old held up the pesky knots to the camera and explained how this is what she deals with every day. Although the TV star usually uses more expensive hair care to tame her mane, this time she opted for a more affordable method. The mum-of-one told followers she was using the Bia Belle brush to comb through her hair and soften the curls. Maura noted that the brush was a "lifesaver" and helped to brush out her knots within 10 to 15 minutes. The brush is currently available on the Bia Belle Beauty website for just €13.99. As for hair product, the popular presenter went for the Garnier Ultimate Blends No Rinse Conditioner. Maura highlighted how the product was the "only thing" that was helping to "move the knots along". The Garnier item can be purchased on Amazon for as little as €8.99. So, for those with similar hair to Maura, make sure to grab yourself a bottle. The Irish host emphasised how she had not brushed her hair out properly in the shower and therefore ended up with "millions of knots". Maura added: "If you have curly hair do not lapse when it comes to getting rid of the knots. "My mother used to suffer trying to get all these knots out when I was in school." The star wrote in her caption: "Curly hair nightmare! knots all over the place. RELATABLE MAUR "I always invest in good hair products, but tonight it was an affordable brand that de-tangled my mane, a leave in conditioner from Garnier and a brilliant brush." Fellow curly-haired fans took to the comments section to react to Maura's hair advice. Molly wrote: "This is me with my curly hair, love this brush too." Celine said: "Oh Maura I'm the same my hair is so curly I do have to clip it up most of the time." Maria added: "I still wake up with knots at back unfortunately." And Lisa gushed: "I have one of them brushes for my little woman, it's a brilliant brush!!"

RTE release new trailer for The Traitors Ireland and reveal date show will hit screens – and it's sooner that you think
TRAIT'S OVER RTE release new trailer for The Traitors Ireland and reveal date show will hit screens – and it's sooner that you think RTE have revealed the official premiere date for The Traitors Ireland - and its just WEEKS away. The show, which is hosted by Derry Girls star Siobhan McSweeney, will air on RTE One later this month. Advertisement 3 RTE released a new promo for the hit show Credit: RTE Press Office Issue 3 The show is hosted by Siobhan McSweeney Credit: RTE Press Office Issue There has been massive anticipation for the Irish version of the hit show, with other iterations topping ratings around the world. The Irish version of the smash show will hit screens here on August 31. However, RTE have not disclosed whether The Traitors Ireland will air at 6:30pm - like Dancing With The Stars - or at the later time of 9:25pm after the news. An RTE source told The Irish Sun: 'That scheduling information will be available next week.' Advertisement Excitement increased today as the national broadcaster also released a new promo for the hit show, featuring host Siobhan. The nail-biting reality competition sees a group of strangers arrive at Slane Castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning up to €50,000. But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It's up to the others, the Faithfuls, to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim. An RTE release added: 'Expect conniving glances over banquet breakfasts, whispers in corridors and enough drama to make even the most loyal viewer question their instincts. As tension rises and alliances crumble, viewers will be left asking: who's lying, who's loyal and who's next?' Advertisement Filming of the reality show took place at Slane Castle earlier this year with the identity of the winner now a closely guarded secret. Owner of Slane Castle, Alex Conyngham - son of the late Henry Mount Charles - has revealed how he and his family lived on the top floor of the castle while below them contestants were being murdered in the nail-biting psychological reality competition. The Traitors shock as surprise winners walk away with £90k cash prize in VERY tense scenes He told us: 'Living on top of a film set is an unusual one, but I grew up with a bit of that because the movie The Great Train Robbery was filmed here with Sean Connery. "But this was a little bit different and more intense but I have to say it that (producer) Darren (Smith) and the whole crew were very respectful to us.' Advertisement OFFER CONSIDERATION Alex revealed he had to give it some serious consideration when Irish TV producers approached him to open up his ancestral home to all the mind games, missions, and unexpected twists for which the hit show is famous. He said: 'I had to look at it (offer) closely as you do with any heritage asset. I was concerned with the impact on the building but once we understood how it would work, we said yes. "The great thing with this castle is we have such an array of different rooms and scenery and I suppose that's what got everyone excited.' 'HE LOVED IT' The son of rock 'n' roll aristocrat Henry Mount Charles, said his dad, who died in June after filming wrapped, was "amused" by goings on in the TV show which sees constant murders, and betrayals. Advertisement Alex said: 'It would take a lot to surprise my dad. He loved the whole thing.' RTE announced that Republic of Telly host Kevin McGahern will host a spin-off show, The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked, in which celebrity guests and players from the game will discuss the latest betrayals, mind games and manipulations. Filmed in RTE Limerick, each episode will feature an exclusive interview with the banished or murdered player. With bonus unseen footage, some will learn the identity of the Traitors for the very first time. 3 The show will air on RTE One later this month Credit: RTE
