Manhole (1995 Session)
From Cork, Manhole were Dick (vocals), Gussie (bass), Glen (keyboards), Gilbert (guitar) and Montage (drums). They featured on the Ten By Ten compilation which was the subject of a recent B-Side the Leeside profile in the Irish Examiner. Incidentally the Examiner has been doing sterling work of late, their radio preview of a Saturday is a first port of call to see which archive sessions will feature on Tuesday’s Dan Hegarty show. For further Manhole recordings check out Gus on Soundcloud.

Loved Manhole, I remember seeing them in Whelans in Dublin around this time and all the heads from older Cork bands like Mick Lynch and Giordaí Ua Laoghaire were there to support their fellow Corkonians. They were very different than anything else out there at the time, like Captain Beefheart meets Joy Division. They changed their name after a time to Son of Manhole. https://youtu.be/vYbNewfIM7w
