Oasis documentary is in the cinema. Will it feature Bishopstown Court Dunnes, where they did a bit of shopping in 1996 when they were in Cork for two nights at Páirc Uí Chaoimh? (FACT!) They could have given yours truly a lift to the second night of the concert! Their loss obviously…

The day Adam Clayton became new best friends with me,10/05/25. (He didn’t know it at the time, I’m still working on it - Jokes aside,he couldn’t have been more nice signing my Two Hearts Beat as One single.) On a side note, I did invite him to my house for tea. He politely declined.

Nice surprise to see this in Limerick (ignore the foliage photobombing the pic, dumb reason). Saw The Cranberries in the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet, Cork, 04/06/1995, they cancelled the Cork City Hall gig on the 27/12/1994. Cork City Hall tickets were still valid for Green Glens gig.

Gregory Porter, Cork Opera House, Cork, 25/10/2024. Mr. Porter told the audience that he likes butter, and that he visited The Cork Butter Museum (yes, Cork has a butter museum). Of course it is hard not to be impressed, as Cork "...was once the center of the global butter trade."
