So proud of our uncle Mick this week. .
Mick Lynch of the RMT says funding cuts made by a "government of billionaires" are to blame for rail strikes - accusing ministers of 'telling everyone else they've got to tighten their belts while they're raking it in'. Live: 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

We've been contacted by loads of newspapers & radio stations over the whole Mick Lynch thing. Just to clarify, he is our uncle, but we haven't seen him since 1989 when he had a fist fight with our dad in our granny's garden. Something to do with the Sunday roast. Miss him.😕.

**UPDATE**.Instruments have been found safe and sound. Thanks so, so much for all the shares and kind words. We're homeward bound, Cormac is buzzing, and we can go back to thinking about what an absolute gig of a lifetime Saturday night at the Barrowland was. ❤❤❤
**PLEASE SHARE**.Lost in Glasgow last night. Cormac's fiddle and viola disappeared in Glasgow around midnight somewhere between the Barrowland Ballroom and Double Tree hotel on Cambridge St. Both were in the one case, similar to pictured below. REWARD OFFERED. Thanks x.❤️

An Irish anti-racist song from c.200 years ago; recorded at the craic wall yesterday by @oneleg_oneeye. The poet and weaver John Sheil had perhaps the biggest impact in 19th Century Ireland and many of his songs are still extant in the oral tradition.

Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, presenting the South African case against Israel in the Hague, is a fucking hero. .
Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh was inspired to become a lawyer after learning about Majella O’Hare, a 12 y/o child from Armagh who was shot in the back & killed by a British soldier in 1976. She went crying to her mother and her mother said, ‘Do something about it’ . Now look where she is

Today is the last day to make the impossible possible. Much like the Jamaican bobsleigh team of 1988, we have persevered in the face of adversity and ridicule, and now stand at the precipice of a major life achievement. beating an American major label artist to #1. Let's go.

We don’t often make recommendations but @LankumDublin are special. Cut from the same rough cloth as us, their original songwriting is outstanding and their reworkings of trad material will last forever. So, if you haven’t already, please give this extraordinary band a listen.
