Little Green Cars on the highway to fame

At a recent Little Green Cars gig at Cork Opera House, co-vocalist Stevie Appleby recited a poem about a boy with a rhino’s horn who accidently killed his mother when she tried to smother him out of embarrassment.

That he could interrupt their performance to do so is testament to just how far the five piece have come in so short a space of time.

The crowd, after some shushing, hang on his every word, laughing in all the right places. Appleby and his band seemed immeasurably comfortable on a stage that would prove too big for many other Irish groups with only one album to their name.
