Manchán Magan tributes: ‘He arrived in this life like a comet, ablaze with purpose’ Kneecap, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Kathy Scott and Seán Ronayne among the artists, musicians, writers and film-makers paying tribute to the late journalist, author and TV presenter

A wonderful soul is gone from us. Thanks to everyone who spoke to me, or wrote down their thoughts, for this piece on the terribly sad loss of Manchán Magan.

Kneecap review: Rap trio give a performance for the ages at Electric Picnic ‘Nothing is going to top this,’ says a fan wearing an Irish flag as a dress. She’s right

I had an absolute blast at @kneecapceol.bsky.social at Electric Picnic. Here's my review for @irishtimes.com
www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Sam Fender is not a typical frontman but his songs really connect with Electric Picnic audience Fans sing so hard that at times it’s hard to hear the main man over extremely questionable yodelling

I'd the best time at Electric Picnic. Shattered, but it was great. Reviewed Sam Fender at the main stage last night. You can read it here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital A hospital strike in southern Gaza has killed at least eight people, including four journalists. The attack happened on Monday.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Sean Rocks' funeral - account by Nadine O'Regan.

What a gifted interviewer he was.

I paid €440 for an Oasis ticket in Croke Park, and I’m not even a huge fan For a teenager in rural Ireland, the things the brothers sang about felt superficial after Kurt Cobain’s anguish. But Oasis, who are about to play at Croke Park, were part of the wave that swept grung...

Blur or Oasis? For me, the real battle was between grunge and Britpop. Wrote about it for @irishtimes.com today. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Brendan Gleeson: ‘I can’t go into a pub any more. I really miss it’ With The Weir, the star returns to the stage after a 10-year absence. It’s a play he loves for its portrayal of the Irish as a people

I met up with the brilliant Brendan Gleeson ahead of his return to the stage. You can read the interview here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/stag...

A smarter life? Meet the Gen-Zers who are switching off their smartphones It’s not easy to live in the modern world without a smartphone or social media, but a growing number of young people are actively choosing to reduce the time they spend on them

Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails at 3Arena review: Peel It Back tour begins unshowily, then builds to a thrilling mid-set sequence Expectations are high among fans dressed in reverential black. This Dublin show doesn’t disappoint

My review of last night's gig for @irishtimes.com www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Thanks so much @nadineoregan.bsky.social - very cool to be in the @irishtimes.com & see beloveds @hollyblack.bsky.social & Leigh Bardugo but also having Irish fantasy celebrated like my lovely @rflong.bsky.social & Cat Doyle! We’re here, we’re… very wary around fairy rings…

Just passed a car pulled in on the side on the motorway. Hazard lights on, its lady driver outside the car, doing…yoga. That’s one way to deal with a breakdown😂🫣

Massive Attack, Pulp, Primal Scream, and dozens of other UK acts have shared a statement of support for Kneecap

Thanks Jackie. Lovely to see you!

If you’re looking for something likeable and popcorn-y, the new basketball dramedy Running Point on Netflix with Kate Hudson is a good watch. 30-min eps, ideal if you’re supposedly just watching one…

I’d like a Shazam for people’s voices on the radio. Spent 10 mins trying to figure out who a particular interviewee was on Brendan O’Connor earlier (the writer Eamon Sweeney, as it happens).

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Clem Burke, drummer with Blondie. I had a lovely chat with him for my Songs in the Key of Life radio show in 2018. His playlist was as cool as he was⬇️
