The Rubberbandits are back with new music and other projects in 2020
Blindboy Boatclub is a man of many talents - comedian, musician, satirist, performance artist, writer, activist, podcaster...to name a few.
His new book Boulevard Wren and Other Stories is the incredible follow-up to the bestselling Gospel According to Blindboy, and a warped mirror held up to the Irish psyche.
Number 1 in the book charts. Thank you very much ❤️ https://t.co/cRHYztim7I

'Provocative and unsettling, the stories rove through the centuries, from the barren fields of Famine-struck Meath to the chaotic landscape of the near future, where social media has colonised the deepest recesses of the human subconscious. This is a world populated by characters lost and at odds with the demands of contemporary life, for whom the line separating redemption and madness has grown impossibly fine'
The Limerick feen chats to Dermot and Dave about his latest publication, where he explains this concept to one of his bizarre short stories; "it just came into my head one day, a man who wears a tweed suit that rips the fabric of time and he turns into a half an hour".
He also tells us the reason over 60% of his podcast listeners are from outside Ireland and reveals how pre-war Russian royalty spoke with a Limerick accent.
A boy the Tsar!
