Last seen on these shores supporting Godspeed You Black Emperor! At the National Stadium in Dublin, Tashi Dorji is a Bhutanese-born, Asheville-based experimental guitarist whose fiercely intuitive improvisations have carved out a unique space in the contemporary avant-garde. His expansive discography includes deeply felt solo works like Stateless (2020) and we will be wherever the fires are lit (2024), and his forthcoming electric album low clouds hang, this land is on fire (2026) on Drag City. Dorji is one half of Manas, the dynamic duo with drummer Thom Nguyen, and a founding member of the free jazz trio KUZU, alongside saxophonist Dave Rempis and drummer Tyler Damon. His collaborators span a wide spectrum: from Mette Rasmussen, Susie Ibarra, Efrim Manuel Menuck, Alex Zhang Hungtai, John Dieterich, Audrey Chen and Joe McPhee to more recent partnerships with Tony Buck, Terrie Ex, Andy Moor, bassist John Edwards, and drummer Steve Noble. Across his solo and group projects, Dorji’s playing, rooted in alternate tunings, prepared guitar, and spontaneous gesture, articulates an aesthetic of resistance, deep listening, and collective transformation.

Sure, I'll wander along to the #CrashTestDummies gig, see if I can get a ticket, might have a pint, sure, might even have 2 pints, no bother, sure I'll be home early, might wander into Whelans afterwards, ah sure there's no way I'll end up drinking with some of the band... #WhatCouldPossibly... it'll be grand tis not as if tomorrow is Monday...

The amazing Jane Weaver in Whelan's last Thursday. She's in Dolan's in Limerick tonight and the Ulster Sports Club in Belfast tomorrow. Don't miss her if you are in either of those towns.

And finally BC CAMPLIGHT makes the journey to church...

Fresh from #LaterWithJools... #BCCamplight (the full band) head to #Dingle, #Kerry for #OtherVoices 1-3 December.

Before that he stops off at #Whelans, #Dublin on 29th Nov.

Anyone who might be interested should know that the excellent #MunicipalWaste are playing in #Whelans in #Dublin next Wednesday the 11th of October.

It just felt like the kind of thing people should know!

The least terrible of my pictures of Dean Wareham saluting the magic of Galaxie 500 last night. Sadly the drummer and his "Troops Out" t-shirt is out of shot.
