The Murder Capital on Glastonbury, friendship and travelling the world
The Murder Capital talk about their aspirations to tour the planet, make a music documentary and play the Pyramid Stage
In early September, the five members of The Murder Capital (James McGovern, Damien Tuit, Cathal Roper, Gabriel Paschal Blake and Diarmuid Brennan) sit in the unlit backroom of a Dublin hotel. They swap quotes from a 1999 episode of The Late Late Show that lives in infamy with the same grace as one might share while speaking of the dead.
“Have you never seen the Frank McCourt and Gerry Hannan clip from the Late Late, no?” Roper asks me while laughing. “Hannan argues with McCourt that Angela’s Ashes is too depressing a depiction of Limerick while wearing this mustard-coloured jacket. It’s incredible.”
