Watch: Christmas on Castletown Rd

screen-shot-2016-12-14-at-19-1000

Filmed in a rehearsal space on the Castletown Road in Dundalk over a few months this year, Christmas on Castletown Rd. is very easily one of the best things to land in our inbox in 2016. In fact, we deem it something of an early Christmas present, brimming with some stupendous sounds and a production style we could watch, very happily, for forever and a year.

Featuring the likes of Robocobra Quartet, Jink Lennon, Elephant, Bleeding Heart Pigeons and Sophie Coyle, the production was directed by Graham Patterson and involved several others, namely, Mark Finnegan, Conor Taaffe, Mark Sheridan, Gavin Murray and Mícheál Keating.
