Me and the Meedja

While the Irish Blog Awards dealt my half-hearted desire for anonymity a near-fatal blow, it seems I'm about to be terminally outed as the blogging fool that I am.

This week's Limerick Leader will (apparently) carry an interview with …

The Day That’s In It

Neither I nor my sweet girl managed to make it out to see the procession of scouts/girlguides/community groups that is the St. Patrick's Day parade in Limerick (despite the…em…'thrilling' promise of it …

New Treaty

Received a mail in my inbox the other day from Enso – a Galway-based art group who are taking part in this year's EV+A (10th March – 21st May 2006) – asking me to help promote their latest …

From Fairies to Freemasons Pt. 2

'Guest Post' by Copernicus

Who's that poking their heads over the half door and the twilight as purple in the western sky as the heather on the bog? Come in, come in, musha, and settle ye about the hearth. …

From Fairies to Freemasons Pt. 1

'Guest Post' by Copernicus

Before I go to bed at night, having replenished the horn of nerdom with a couple of Star Trek episodes, I pause before the bookshelves in the hall, pluck from them a random volume and, …

Every Now and Then I Wake Up Screaming

The lads and lassie of The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra return, tomorrow night, to the intimate surrounds of Limerick Boat Club (where they will be ably supported by Vertigo Smyth).

The Touch of the Shadow…

As Atlantic rowers Paul Gleeson and Tori Holmes enter what they hope will be their final week on the high seas, the 'entity' that follows/haunts/accompanies them has made its most audacious intervention yet:

Our passenger was up to divilment …

The Shadow Returns…

Following my post about it last Thursday, there was another brief mention, in today's Irish Times, of the eerie 'shadow' that's stalking Paul Gleeson and Tori Holmes as they attempt to row across the Atlantic:

On a night shift it's …

The Atlantic Shadow

I've been keeping half an eye on the interviews that (Limerick's own) Paul Gleeson and (Canada's own) Tori Holmes have been giving to The Irish Times regarding their (on-going) attempt to row across the Atlantic from The Canary Islands to …

Fireside Chat

Just a quick plug for my good chums in The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra whose marvellous (and cosy) "Fireside Chat" demo has now been let loose on an unsuspecting world.

Reservoir Willie

Many of you will have already seen the weird (and comical) photograph of, Minister of Defence, Willie O'Dea posing with an automatic pistol (on the cover of The Irish Times), but it's still worth a second look…

A chuisle mo chroí…

2 posts in a row on the topic of poetry isn't exactly guaranteed to get "bums on seats", but I thought I should make mention of Cuisle 2005, the Limerick City International Poetry Festival, which runs from the 18th-22nd …

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Shannon…

We all (I'm sure) have books that, how shall I put this, serve our forays to the bathroom extremely well. Things one can dip in and out of while engaged in private activities of a seated nature. One of my …
