This doco and much more is now available for your viewing pleasure on the new website www.sixteenlayers.com. Hats off Dom and all at Point Blank, it’s as good as it gets!Other highlights over the past few months include two performances with the crew in The O2 Blueroom (www.blueroom.o2oline.ie), new Balcony TV shows (www.balconytv.com), 2XM and especially hosting a summer residency in the most fantastic of venues, The Harbour Bar in Bray, Co Wicklow. Each gig has been an experience!
