Remembering our beautiful mucker Uaneen Fitzsimons, who was taken from us far too young 24 years ago today. The years are flying by but it seems like yesterday. Thinking about her lovely family and all our friends and music buddies today ❤️

@TonyClaytonLea @theirishpost @gavinfriday @silverbacksFOUR @gemma_hayes @DamoDempsey @GilbertOSull_ Good news for the Irish Post readers, Tony!!

Started a monthly column @theirishpost reviewing Irish albums. I intend to review at least five per month. Thanks to the paper for its commitment to Irish musicians & songwriters. @gavinfriday @silverbacksFOUR @gemma_hayes @DamoDempsey @GilbertOSull_ irishpost.com/entertainment/…

@niallmcg @alazarussoul @brianybee I hope you recover quickly and fully @niallmcg In the meantime stay emotional! Xx

You know those weeks. Things don’t seem to quite work out. You know things will improve but need patience to find out when. I knew @alazarussoul would be aturning point. I just needed to get there. Crutches and all. Amazing night. Watching @brianybee being emotional was emotional

@revelinomusic Is that not just you snoring? And @olliecole knows how to snore in harmony?…

You know when you wake up in the middle of the night with a great idea for a song and hum it into your phone - this is last night’s cracker 😂😂😂

@tanyasweeney Excellent news, Tanya! Well done!!

Some of that there Personal News: thebookseller.com/rights/transwo…

@TonyClaytonLea @revelinomusic Is that lush or louche (or both?!) @TonyClaytonLea ?? Either way sounds like a winner from that loveable rogue Bren Berry!

Another classy, lush, guitar-fuelled pop song from Bren Berry. The man's debut album can't arrive soon enough… @revelinomusic open.spotify.com/track/5YuRbwmN…

@rigsy Good work over the years, @rigsy! No better man for the job!

after 12 years, my last ever column for the daily mirror will appear this friday. remarkably - over the 600 or so weeks, it's never been a struggle or a chore finding something to rave about, which says a lot about this part of the world. as for comparing 2012 to 2024....

@fobraonain @RTERadio1 @vanmorrison @MickFlannery @SoundsofSON @ClareSandsCeol @outsidechild13 @mary_coughlan4 @anaismitchell @JoachimCooder @ChappellRoan @wallisbird @catburns You will be missed. You are one of an elite group of people who have always put the service into public service!

Presenting my last Late Date tonight from midnight on @RTERadio1 ! Thanks for joining me down the years! @vanmorrison @MickFlannery @SoundsofSON @ClareSandsCeol @outsidechild13 @mary_coughlan4 @anaismitchell @JoachimCooder @ChappellRoan @wallisbird @catburns @mavisstaples

Hey @basewfp nice pizza. Shame it’s cold. Fortunately we have a microwave…but should we need one?

@niallmcg At the Hammersmith Clarendon, I think? My t-shirt disintegrated at that show…mesmerising!

This youtu.be/ZLr5EXyoQCE?si…

@niallmcg Big Black were hardcore pop dreamboats. Inspirational, incomparable, uncompromising, glorious. And that was but an early stop on Steve Albini’s journey through and powerful contribution to the world of music!

First (and only) time I saw Big Black I was mesmerised and a little bit terrified. Leeds 1986. I’ve been hooked ever since 😢

@cazhenry @Hozier Enjoy @cazhenry!!

My home on wheels next few weeks, back on the road with @Hozier who’s only gone and become a number one selling single artist on the Billboard charts in the US, only the 4th Irish artist to do it, last one being the legend Sinead O’Connor 34 years ago. Thrilled for him x

Great to launch this initiative @MindingCreative @DeptCultureIRL
