Just to clarify. 50% means closed, means cancel nearly everything, means pretty much stop operating again after a year and half of hell, wave goodbye to all your hard work and perseverance.

Dad passed away last August. He was cremated @ Glasnevin. We played I Say A Little Prayer as he left us. Aretha had passed two days earlier. Nearly one year later i’m crying side of stage as the man who wrote that song performed it live @ Iveagh Gardens. Burt Bacharach Forever x

Some thoughts on the live music industry...
The momentum of the live industry is currently fuelled by a somewhat unscientific optimism as to when / if it will come back to the full capacity gathering format we are accustomed to.

Devastatingly sad news about Scott Hutchinson. For anyone with dark thoughts, depressive and suicidal feelings you may be surprised the lengths other people will go to help you. And how much you, in turn, have to offer them. They are out there. I found them.

Mainstream Irish radio has long since being dictated by a dead-in-the-eyes capitalist advertising tempo. Alienated alternative shows & box-ticking all-Irish shows were never the answer. This model is not fit for programming exciting new music. We’re looking to the wrong people.

truly heartbroken. Mimi Parker rip.
Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but
She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.

One great privilege of my career was to promote a Burt Bacharach show in Dublin in July 2019. Had been in love with his work from a young age. Not only was the concert wonderful, Burt, aged 91 at the time, was kind and generous, chatted with fans for hours afterwards. RIP BB ❤️

I imagine a lot of people in Ireland probably just found out they lost their job again. Or the business they've spent 18 months preparing to relaunch isn't happening. Or they just lost a lot of money and work through cancellations. Nice timing on the day PUP is reduced.

It’s with a heavy heart that we bring you the sad news that our beloved Joe Nicholson (right) passed away last night after a short illness. Joe will be known to many, as he was the keeper of the gate so to speak, manning our box office vigilantly.
He will be sorely missed. RIP

An all-ages venue in a dublin is so doable. There’s enough of us who know how to run it, book it, insure it, make it safe and functional. All we need is the support of an authority who cares or a developer with soul (big ask, I know).
