Yes Dublin

Live on the BBC. This is class.

A song to celebrate World Piano Day I never got a chance to sing this for Shane MacGowan at Carnegie Hall last week so here’s an impromptu piano version of The Old Main Drag. It’s an unforgettable piece of writing and probably my favourite Pogues song of all time.

First things first. Remembering our darling Kirsty MacColl today and forever.

Orville Rogers is 100 years old. He set a new age record by running the men's 60 m in 19.13 seconds.

Shane Lowry is incredulous - and rightly so - to be interviewed by a person who has never heard of Oasis. x.com/FanDuelTV/stat…

The #Oasis rehearsals aren’t going well!

@fasc1nate A true legend

Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died. Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981. A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer. According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.
