Jinx Lennon

Jinx Lennon National Cancer Strategy Septic Tiger Jinx Lennon, the Dundalk man who consistently pricks the nation's conscience is back. He's more measured in his delivery this time, the music more polished, but he is also more incisive lyrically. Jinx voices the extreme views many might hold but few will own up to. Pink Scrunched Up Thing, for example, takes a hands-on approach to paedophile priests. Serve A Drink For My Sister looks at the shocking murder of Roy Collins in Limerick, and Fight Diabetes delivers its serious message with laugh-outloud humour. Miss Paula Flynn duets on the clever, tender break-up song, Refrigerated Couple. A hidden track about the 1975 bombing of Dundalk lays bare the lie that time is healing the wounds of the Troubles. Some despise him, even in his hometown, but a statue in his honour - Tippexed sunglasses et al - would be more fitting. FIVE STARS *****

LIVE AT THE SPIRIT STORE 15.11.2000(SEPTIC TIGER 02)

The first Jinx Lennon album proper recorded before a very drunk and rowdy crowd in the

halcyon days of Dundalk's Spirit Store venue in 2000 when it was a smaller room, you can hear the fear and tension in Jinx's set and the bawdiness of the audience some of whom were shouting up threats to Jinx.The atmosphere makes it a great live album and none of the songs can be found on the other albums.Sean Flynn from the Irish Post give it 4/5 and

"Jinx Lennon will make you smile but he'll also grab you by the throat:one of the most original singer/songwriters out there.This a live album that makes me wish i was there"
