I asked the question... The answer is, well, there is definitely a serious disruption in Russian internet activity, but it falls short of saying the bots are down...

Red lights... Never my favourite lighting to shoot in, but for this photo of the incredible Foxxx, it works so well. I'd never photographed #Shibari before, so this was totally new to me. Delighted with this shot, even if it meant shooting at 10,000 ISO!

Model bathed in red light, bound around eyes, throat, and torso, during a Shibari session.

You can tell Jesus was Irish... Went out on a session with the lads on a Thursday night, and only managed to get out of the bed on Sunday!

The first time I got to photograph Tolu Makay live, was back in '21 in Vicar Street. Her voice, her poise, everything screamed superstar. She's was fantastic on Dancing With The Stars, but I can't wait to see her back gigging! #IrishMusicParty

If you ever saw Sinead O'Connor perform, you know how great she was. There wasn't a room big enough to contain her voice. Her passion for music was immense, never settling on just one style, eager to stretch her talents. Sinead should be 59 today. #IrishMusicParty

So, I was in Belfast recently, photographing a burlesque festival. All was going fine till the last performer and the dreaded red lights... I didn't think I'd get anything much, and to be honest, I didn't! I did manage to rescue this shit though. At least I think I did!

I headed to the Circus Gerbola today in Naas to take some pretty pictures. It was probably the most difficult shoot I've ever had. Everything moves so quickly, lights change so fast... It was great fun though, support the circus!

I headed down to Dunamaise Arts Centre tonight to see the Climate Change Cabaret. I hadn't intended to shoot the show, but I stopped off on the way and picked up my camera. I'm glad I did. It was a great mix of cabaret, burlesque, and science! These are just a few quick edits before bed.

Friday night, in the intimate surrounds of the Dew Drop in Kill, Co. Kildare, I got to see the legendary Luka Bloom perform as part of Féile Liam O'Flynn. It was every bit as good as you'd think it was! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

I was in Whelan's in Dublin last night, I'd not been there in a while, so it was great to be back. This is Roesy performing on the mainstage. I'd heard of him before, seen the name around, but it was my first time catching him live. Rather enjoyable set! #IrishMusicParty

I headed along to Scotsman's Bay in Dun Laoghaire earlier today for Mothers Against Genocide's Fly a Kite for Gaza fundraiser. It is though, incredibly fucked up that fundraising events like this have to take place. It doesn't take a lot to save a life. Unfortunately, the Israeli Govt. don't care.

I stayed local tonight, I headed down to Facchinos in Naas to see the fantastic Dubh Lee perform. It's a nice little venue. It's well protected, so none of the town noise can be heard. The old walls, covered in ivy, make for a great backdrop! Oh, and the food looks great, too! #IrishMusicParty

It's not often you get the chance to sit in an intimate Secret Garden and have the incredible Lisa Hannigan perform to you. Tonight though, at Hibernacle Music Festival, it happened and it was all kinds of wonderful. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

I'm not sure what to say about Emmet O'Brien, because however I describe him, it wouldn't do justice... Anyway, he's brilliant and he did a brilliant set in the Secret Garden at Hibernacle Music Festival tonight. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

The chains and bollards surrounding the National Concert Hall are simply stunning. It would be wonderful to see the years of paint removed and have them restored to their original beauty. Anyone out there with money care to sponsor the work???

I headed along to the National Concert Hall tonight to catch @brenberry.bsky.social and @crashensemble.bsky.social perform songs from Brens debut album, In Hope Our Stars Align. The addition of strings and wind instruments turned an already beautiful album into something quite magical.

I've never released an album in my life, but plenty of my friends have. This time it's the turn of the Tolka Hot Club! Their debut album will be available on Bandcamp from tomorrow. Oh and I have an extra reason to be delighted. That's my photo on the front! #IrishMusicParty
