Pierce Turner to perform Wexford homecoming gig with a difference
Pierce Turner, one of the most influential artists of the last 25 years who has spent his time between New York and Wexford, will stage a homecoming gig with a difference in June when he performs at 2 Commercial Quay in Wexford. The building, which is now a popular wine bar called Cork Buzz, was where Pierce spent his teenaged years working on the ground floor Rec-Pho store as a photographer. The building also happens to be where the Turner family resided for over three decades. On June 19, Pierce will perform excerpts from his debut book Living by the River in what promises to be an intimate experience. Pierce's debut book of autobiographical short-stories was launched last November to much acclaim. Living by the River is a collection of 'delightful stories' about a young man's coming of age in Wexford town and follows on from Pierce's weekly column 'My World' which ran in the Wexford People for a number of years. 'As I began writing these stories, I came to the realisation that growing up on the Wexford Quay – the house where the Cork-Buzz Wine Bar is now – had an impact on everything I wrote, hence the title, Living by the River,' Pierce said. Pierce's former musical partner Larry Kirwan offered this appraisal of the book: 'The best way to read Living by the River is to imagine you're at a party in the sitting room of Pierce's house overlooking The Quay, back when his mother and father – Molly and Jem – were alive, and everyone had to do a turn, be it singing, reciting or telling a story,' Larry said. 'You'll hear about boarders reluctant to pay their way, Sputnik the warrior dog and his untimely passing, the glory days of Rec-Pho and White's Barn, Sammy Sinnott's magic cure for the Rolling Stones, and all the other tales that weave a picture of a magical time when we were young, bulling to get out in the world and leave our mark upon it. "That's what you'll experience in this lovely book, a special sliver of the universe, gone but not forgotten that you too can be a part of for some glorious golden hours.' The June 19 performance in Wexford is the first of two events on Irish soil for Pierce. On June 25, Pierce will stage the Dublin launch of Living by the River, when he will read extracts from his book at the Irish Writers Centre, 19 Parnell Square, at 6.30pm (admission free). Pierce Turner, Living by the River, live at Cork Buzz, Thursday June 12 at 7.30pm. Doors at 6.30pm. Tickets through Eventbrite.

Anthem Vinyl offering 'interesting new approach' to vinyl pressing for artists
Newly launched Anthem Vinyl, Ireland's only vinyl pressing plant, are offering an 'interesting new approach' to vinyl pressing for Irish artists. Born out of a shared love for vinyl and a deep respect for its craft, Anthem Vinyl was founded in 2024 by a team of passionate music industry and business professionals. Located just 30 minutes from Dublin, in Clane, County Kildare, the new pressing plant is embracing new technology, sustainability, and accessibility, ensuring that artists and fans can experience vinyl at its best. 'Obviously, a lot of Irish artists would be keen to have their physical music produced here in Ireland,' Anthem Vinyl founder Brian Kenny told the Irish Mirror. 'It's also very accessible, they can come here, visit the plant. We offer that anyone who's getting records pressed can come in and see it getting pressed, shoot some social content. 'We're building out a media room here where, if they want to shoot their own social media content in the room, listen to it on the Hi Fi, and sign copies of it.' Brian says by pressing locally in Ireland, clients benefit from faster lead times and lower shipping costs thanks to Ireland's unique position within the EU. 'It's that unique access that we have to the global market. Even though we will do everything we can to support Irish acts, we don't want to create the impression we're only supporting Irish acts either.' 'Because the Irish industry is not big enough to sustain this business or any pressing plant,' he added. 'It's probably mostly led by artists not having to go far afield, Irish in particular, to get their pressings. 'But we also think we can tick a box for UK and European-based artists to get their product out to the States in particular, or UK artists to get their products into mainland Europe.' With the addition of traditional pressing services, Anthem has also introduced Smart Vinyl, a forward-thinking innovation that pairs physical records with the digital world. 'It's a very early product. Declan O'Rourke's album was done; he's an early adopter of it,' he shared. 'It gives a great new level of engagement between an artist and a fan. That they have this content that's utterly unique to that particular album, that they bought that vinyl record. 'Then the artist, in turn, can have visibility of fans that are buying records and binder releases. And there's opportunities there for early concert ticket access or early new release access to fans that are showing loyalties to them. It's a very interesting kind of new approach to it.'
