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 last weekends All That Glitters Burlesque and Cabaret Show in Drogheda. www.irishmj.ie/2025/09/all-...

A few words about and a lot of photos from last weekends Hoes of Tralee Contest. www.irishmj.ie/2025/08/the-...

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

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

A new artist to me, this is Dani Larkin opening the mainstage at Hibernacle Music Festival today. A great way to open proceedings! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

We Are Not Together kicking off Saturday at Hibernacle Music Festival over in the Secret Garden. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

The amazing Pillow Queens rocking the mainstage at Hibernacle Music Festival last night. Did I mention they rock? They really, really do! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

I think this is my first time seeing Jape live. My memory is not quite what it used to be, but I think I'm right. Anyway, now that's out of the way, WOW! That's him playing the main stage tonight at Hibernacle Music Festival. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

It's been far, far, far too long since I last saw Ailbhe Reddy live. Thankfully, she was as brilliant last night at Hibernacle Music Festival as she ever was! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

I first met Grainne Hunt at Groove Festival 11 or 12 years ago. I've been a fan ever since. Here she is playing the Secret Garden at Hibernacle Music Festival last night. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

The absolutely fantastic Driven Snow opening Friday night here at Hibernacle Music Festival. #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

Two years ago today, The Stunning with Niwel Tsumbu, backstage at King Johns Castle in Limerick. What a band, what a venue, what a show!

Some of the fun from January to June 2025.

A little bit of magic from For Those I Love at Glastonbur at the weekend. youtu.be/M0sTX3h5BOA?...

We made a wee intro video for Glasto - crowd was so big a good few heads couldn't see it so here yis go x 🍿

Had a great night last night with the Cash Returns team. Absolutely fantastic gig in Draiocht, Blanchardstown. A bit of a difficult shoot, but sure you adapt and overcome. Lots of photos to go through, this might take some time! #Ireland #IrishMusic #IrishMusicParty #Live #2025

Took a spin up the mountains today. Had some lunch by a stream, listened to the hurling, flew the drone... Very relaxing, apart from the result.
