Fresh horses

Former Bawl and Fixed Stars singer Mark Cullen brings his new band, Pony Club, to the Temple Bar Music Centre on January 24th for a double-header with Sack.

Expect to hear a song or 10 from Home Truths, his debut album, which is due through Setanta in March. Along with his two brothers, the fluid line-up currently features former A House men Martin Healy and Dave Morrissey.

2002 will also see Cullen collaborating again with Lightning Seeds supremo Ian Broudie.
