A quiet Tuesday night upstairs in Bar Ritz in Castlebar and it is a lot different from the heaving mass of bodies squashed into the venue towards the front of the stage area 11 days previously, when Belfast band And So I Watch You From Afar had the place hopping. For almost three years now Finbar Hoban has been bringing the best of local original Irish bands to Castlebar in a series of shows that have gone from strength to strength from quality of performer to visuals and props. When he first put on a show, a handpainted sign was all that was there to let you know this was a Finbar Hoban Presents show, now there’s a screen behind the stage with graphics and animations to let you know who is putting on this night’s entertainment.

Following on from the release of their debut EP The Ho! Ho! Ho! Stamp late last year, Dublin-based but Mayo-rooted indie pop band Story of Hair released their debut album Cheap Rate at the tail end of last month, with a Hallowe’en show in Whelans.
