The slanket!
Hey all, Size2shoes were on Mark & Catriona’s Breakfast show on Limerick’s Live 95FM this morning so we have officially made it in our home town, which is exceedingly Daycent. Also thanks to The Arts Show for having us on and being so nice, great feedback. s2s also broke the record for the Live 95FM Breakfast Biggie, which is a test of strength and vocal skills, we will let you know when we get the recording, pretty epic clip. Whats ahead? The second homecoming in the Belltable next Friday 11th, get in, Moley has a 4 foot Party Popper that is gonna explode all over the place. This last sentence is to be taken literally and is not to be taken up the wrong way….serously fun times, if you havent seen size2shoes in a while then get to this one, its the last gig of the summer 
How are you? Whatcha getting for Christmas? Our tip: Check out ‘Slankets’, they are blankets with sleeves! xx S2S

Word to the shoes community,
Whats the science? Size2shoes guested with legendary trad superstars The Chieftains the other night at their gig in the University Concert Hall, Limerick. We played one track on our own to a packed house (Take it easy) and then we played a tune with the lads. Which tune did we play? Why The Teddy Bears Picnic of course! What other tune would suit the whacky vibes that an odd pairing like s2s and The Chieftains give out? Looks like this Teddy Bears Picnic thing has legs, i wonder who we will play it with next! (Metalica, The Killers, Great Big Sea! )
We recorded the several minutes of whacky goodness and should pop it up online very soon. Next gig is in The Pavilion in Cork City, just off Patrick Street in Carey’s Lane, should be epic (and dry!).
Word.

oooohhh!
Ireland you look wonderful Size2shoes gigs going very well around the country, radio slots here and there making sure that the world are being gradually introduced to the Whack-For-The-Daddi-o size2shoes bros. We are excited about our upcoming gig in Limerick @ The Shannon Rowing Club on Sarsfield bridge this saturday (21st Nov). If we can make it there, well make it…..ANYWHERE….(you know the song)
We did a gig in Siamsa Tire in Tralee which was great, Size2shoes graced the National Folk Theatre of Ireland with great aplomb, thanks for the invite! We launched a kids book in Dublin which was class, big shout out to the Veritas girls and Mount Carmel secondary kids. Also the Pavilion in Cork gig on friday 27th of November is gonna be epic so book now!
Big up yourself.

s2s blog: Size2shoes the new Jedward?!

The affliction of Moley
Howya!
We have been picking up chatter among the media, our sources have been noticing that corollaries are being made between Brother band Size2shoes and the latest X-Factor pop sensation John & Edward. Our research indicates that this may be as a result of Moley’s ill fated Limerick X-Factor attempt several weeks ago, just before the ‘Jedward’ sensation. Moley was eliminated from the 1st round of Limerick X-Factor and is still pretty emotionally sensitive about the experience, get well soon Moley.
The links between ‘Jedward’ and Size2shoes are meatier than one would think at first glance. Their dad is from Limerick apparently! Jedward, also like Eoin & Moley, are into good old fashioned entertainment. Do you think that a collaboration with “Size2shoes feat. Jedward” is a good idea? Let us know, we are floating the idea to a number of PR companies worldwide, maybe we could emalgamate to make the greatest boyband that Limerick has ever produced! Watch this space

Eoin, Nóirín & Mícheal @ book launch
Hey shoes fans!
Whassapenin? So much goin on in the s2s world of wonder… We sang in Galway as part of Julie Feeney’s band – we were the backing singers! Class tunes, check her out! Dr. Nóirín Ní Riain (our mom!) launched her book in Dublin 10 days ago! She is some legend, Size2shoes played a tune at the launch and wrote a short rap extolling her, and the books, virtues! It was dope and it rocked the house – in fact as a direct result the books publishers (Veritas) asked us to launch a kids book in Dublin in November! I think they must think that we are wacky dudes, but roll on kids book launch! Will let ya know details soon.
Of course the next big thing for Size2shoes is a series of gigs round Ireland in November starting in Dublin on November 6th @ The Sugar Club! Special guests the inimitable Julie Feeney and the legendary Paddy Maloney (The Chieftains). See the gigs page for a full list of the gigs! Moley entered a local X-Factor comp last week and got knocked out in the first round! Bummer…
We got reviewed in Hot Press this month also (the issue with Glen Hansard on the front) and it was a good review, the guy who reviewed it said that the album was ’so peachy keen and full of good advice that it makes me crave for paranoid schiziphrenic drug addicts with scar tissue and battered four track recorders’ – wowsers, looks like the s2s debut album is really converting the cool kids !
How are you? Tell us!
