Every year, Rory Gallagher came home to Cork to play Macroom, Ireland’s first open-air rock festival. In 1978, he made it legendary. He rolled up in a car, grabbed his battle-scarred ‘61 Strat, ran straight up the steps with no soundcheck, and tore into “Shin Kicker.” Pure rock and roll.

My husband and I are in Ireland for the week. The town is called Waterville - the white house in the background was Charlie Chaplin's vacation home

So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Oh Singularities by Per Bronco Karlsson is released on several platforms. In recent years, I have released music exclusively on Apple Music; for the Oh Singularities album, I’ve gathered a few singles from that period. per-bronco-karlsson.ffm.to/o…

500,000 electricity and gas accounts in Ireland are in arrears. We have the dearest electricity prices in Europe. Yet the government increased the salary of the ESB CEO by nearly €100,000 to €410,000. aontu.ie/join-us/

Over €45 in every €100 fill of petrol goes to the government in tax. Its hammering families. Don't forget the fuel price public meeting in Moate this Sunday.

1.99 petrol. 2.09 diesel. Nearly half goes straight back to the government in tax. The taxi driver. The nurse with no 6am bus. The carer. The tradesman. The farmer on green diesel. The pensioner filling a heating oil tank to stay warm. "The people who get up early in the morning." The people this government bleeds dry. And the ministers lecturing you on the cost of living? Their state cars are filled for free. On your money. They never watch the numbers spin at a pump. Tax the country to the hilt and feel none of it yourself. #CostOfLiving #FuelPrices
