A fine cultural evening of instrumental mellifluousness at the Wedge last night; gloriously wonky tweaked beats courtesy of Secret Self, elegiac looped strings from violinist/violist Marina Moore and, to headline, the dark, ambient electronica of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (which is one the best band names of recent times).

With each set was complemented by animated visuals I could enjoy the mesmerising images alongside the music or, by closing my eyes, enjoy the soundtrack to the movie in my mind.

Last Stand of R&H Hall

It’s not every day you get to capture a piece of Cork’s history before it disappears forever. The R&H Hall building is now gone, and even Google Maps have updated their streetview so this same view of Victoria Road is now quite different.

The R&H Hall grain silo towers, built in 1934 and 1954, stood at 33 metres tall and were visible from many parts of Cork, making them one of the city’s most recognisable industrial landmarks for over 80 years. Hopefully, the new developments going up there will be as impactful.
