1/2 Yesterday, we lost one of our greatest souls. Manchan came to Borris the first year in 2012 and most years since, sharing profundity and levity, outpourings of wisdom, story, curiosity, concern and laughter.

Congratulations to Fontaines DC on their Choice Music Prize win. Show-stealing performance of the night was from RÓIS. An incredible voice rooted in sean nós - very much all its own, but made me think of Diamanda Galas, Liz Fraser, Lisa Gerrard… m.youtube.com/watch?v=VEWw...
