Lloyd Cole: Still making a commotion

Contented and writing the best songs of his career, Lloyd Cole really is a merry old soul, says Joe Dermody

LLOYD COLE has some unfinished business at Cork Golf Club. The singer only made it as far as the 14th hole before he and the other Commotions were called into the clubhouse for a sound check back in the 1980s.

Unfortunately, the eight handicapper won’t be able to squeeze in those last four holes during this week’s whistlestop one-man acoustic tour of Ireland; not even when he plays the Triskel in Cork on Friday.
