go, the Beep is up there with them. Yes, he was on Top of the Pops with John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band in 1970 miming playing the tambourine on Instant Karma. Yes, he was a publicist with Thin Lizzy and T Rex and toured with Led Zeppelin. Yes, he’s recorded with Jack White and ran Death Disco with Alan McGee. This level of old school rock ’n’ roll also granted him access others can only dream of. “It just seems the right time” says BP about doing his first-ever photography exhibition. “I always carry a camera,” says BP. “The shots, they’re moments. I look at the photo of Willie Nelson at his 80th Birthday and each line etched on his face signifies a thousand lifetimes.” He’s also a fantastic name-dropper but, unlike others, the grains of truth far outweigh the sediment of lies. Hen’s Teeth, Thursday October 11 to Thursday October 18. bpfallon.com talk Banter 200 Kudos to Jim Carroll and his merry band of talkers for making it to the 200th edition of Banter. Carroll is a gabfest of the best kind himself – mischievous, curious and insightful – and this is why these chats have lasted the course. His line-up for this special one includes Brian Kerr who enlivened our World Cup viewing with his knicky-knacky commentary, panel discussions on book writing and editing as well as a performance by the Slow Moving Clouds who have just released Starfall. It is part of the Dublin Podcast Festival and all ticket proceeds go to Women’s Aid. Workmans Club, Wednesday October 18, 6.30pm, €5-€8 gig Superorganism Superorganism really are a millennial mash-up with the playground joy of getting a ride on everything. The group consists of international members from England, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand who only formed at the start of last year. We heard everything from Lemon Jelly to Giant Drag on their excellent indie pop debut but it’s really a roulette of so many acts you once loved and have possibly forgotten about. Their excellent Reflections On The Screen is the perfect top down start if you care to acquaint yourself with this fizzy drink act that simply wants you to ‘live for the now’.
