A question of taste - Ken Griffin

Ken Griffin is originally from Dublin, but has lived in New York for the past 23 years. Formerly of Rollerskate Skinny, his latest band is August Wells. They play the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh tonight.

Best recent book: Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Best recent film: I just watched Robert Altman’s 3 Women for the first time, it’s a great unhinged masterpiece. I have always loved the way he uses sound in films too, and its been an occasional influence on my approach to music.
