All that 'New Year, New Me' shite will be starting soon... Not me though, feck no! If you didn't like me this year, there is even less of a chance you'll like me next year! Expect more of this from me.

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

More than a few words and plenty of pictures from the Harlekino Kollektiv show 'Antika' last week in the Sugarclub, Dublin. www.irishmj.ie/2025/11/anti...

A few words and some pictures from Friday nights King Kong Company gig in the Academy Dublin. www.irishmj.ie/2025/11/king...

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!

A few words about and photos from A Night of Burlesque, part of the Púca Festival. www.irishmj.ie/2025/11/a-ni...

A few words about, and photos from the Muddy River Band gig in the Moat Theatre last weekend. www.irishmj.ie/2025/11/the-...

A few shots of the Muddy River Band from last Saturday night in Moat Theatre in Naas. #IrishMusicParty

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!

It's almost time for me to go vote... If you have a vote and can't be arsed voting, you're doing nothing to prevent a candidate being elected. Get up off your hole, go vote and get a spice bag or a snack box on the way home.

A few words and a few photos from the recent Luka Bloom gig for Féile Liam O'Flynn. www.irishmj.ie/2025/10/2025...

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.

A few words and a few photos from the recent Gemma Hayes gig in Whelans, Dublin. www.irishmj.ie/2025/10/2025...

A few words about, and a few photos from the recent Ailbhe Reddy gig in National Concert Hall, Dublin. www.irishmj.ie/2025/10/2025...

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

Another great night in Whelan's, Dublin, with the fantastic Gemma Hayes headlining the mainstage. Gemma's currently on an Irish tour, you'd be mad to miss it. #IrishMusicParty

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

Hmmm... Still no #Rapture2025 Is there, is there a chance that it was all a load of bollix?

A few words, and I do mean few, about last weekend's Naas Wild Food Festival. www.irishmj.ie/2025/09/2025...

Convicted rapist McGregor knows zilch about how the Irish presidency works. If, by an act of pure sorcery, he were elected, he could not do ANYTHING without govt permission - including entering the Dept of the Taoiseach, where he is photographed. The parliament is on a different street!

A few words about, and a few photos from @TribFestIE. www.irishmj.ie/2025/08/trib...

So Trump, a man convicted of 34 felonies, a man found liable in the civil courts of sexual assault, a man with 6 bankrupted companies, and let's not forget about the $25million Trump University payout, thinks Sadiq Khan is Nasty??? Jaysus...

A few words about and a few photos from Saturday's "Fly a Kite for Gaza" fundraiser run by Mothers Against Genocide. #FreePalestine www.irishmj.ie/2025/07/fly-...

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.

Two years since Sinead O'Connor passed... Photo is from the main stage at Electric Picnic 2014. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2014

Well, that was great craic to watch. One hell of an amazing comeback by Tipp! #AllIrelandHurlingFinal

A few words and photos from Dubh Lee's gig in Facchino's in Naas last Friday night. www.irishmj.ie/2025/07/dubh... #IrishMusicParty

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

A few words, probably too many, and lots of photos, though probably not enough, from Hibernacle Music Festival. www.irishmj.ie/2025/07/hibe...

The legendary Villagers closing out the mainstage on night two of Hibernacle Music Festival. What an absolute joy to see them in such an intimate, beautiful setting. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

A new artist to me, Eddie Wilson, performing in the intimate settings of the Secret Garden tonight at Hibernacle Music Festival. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

They say that you should never meet your heroes... Well, I met Wallis Bird tonight and she was fecking deadly! Oh, and her set at Hibernacle Music Festival tonight? Pure class! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

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

Someone new to me again, Ned Dunn rocking the Secret Garden here at Hibernacle Music Festival tonight! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

The quite incredible Grainne Hunt singing to the whole of Dublin City tonight at Hibernacle Music Festival. I bet they can hear her clear as day in Howth! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025
