This afternoon

IMMA have revealed the lineup for Continuous Patterns – a selection of artists who are at the ‘very cutting edge of contemporary Irish culture’ on June 15-16 in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

Louise Barker writes:

Friday July 15th presents an evening of forward facing, future focused ure focused live music on the Courtyard and Terrace stages with performances from exciting emerging r’n’b acts Jar Jar Jr. Negro Impacto & Efe, a Very Special Guest soon TBA, a unique collaboration from the exhilarating and elegant pairing of power pop sensation AE Mak and the renowned contemporary ensemble Glasshouse, and closing out the evening in full dancing mode we welcome a rare hometown live performance from one of the country’s most celebrated electronic producers and DJs – R.Kitt.

In slightly more genteel fashion, the programme on Saturday July 16th welcomes you into the elegant embrace of a leisurely mid summer’s evening in IMMA with psych-folk artist Aoife Wolf, the folk stylings emerging Cork songwriter O Deer, Ukulele collective Rugs, the riot of sound that is Stomptown Brass, a performance to be treasured from a Very Special Guest, and a very special performance from Ye Vagabonds in collaboration with renowned composer and multi-instrumentalist Gareth Quinn Redmond.

Each evening the terrace bar will be soundtracked by some of our most celebrated selectors with dj sets from Dublin stalwarts and radio personalities Claire Beck and Donal Dineen, emerging Japanese – Irish selector Emmy Shigeta and the breezy sounds of the Desert Island Disco crew.

Tickets here.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny outside RTÉ last night

Last night during the Leaders’ Debate on RTÉ One.

Miriam O’Callaghan: “You promised, and I quote you, ‘a democratic revolution’. You were going to reinvent our country and yet one of the most embarrassing crony examples, John McNulty, you appointed him to the board of IMMA to get him on to a bigger board, the Seanad. You out Bertied Bertie….Taoiseach this was naked cronyism and, to be fair, you said at the time, you left your own standards and integrity down.”

Enda Kenny: “Yes.”

O’Callaghan: “What did you mean by that? What did you do?”

Kenny: “What I did was, I didn’t, what I did was make an appointment that did not need to be made. And I’ve changed the rules since then…”

Hmm.

In respect of the appointment to the board of IMMA, that was made by the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, exercising her right as the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in respect of examining the qualifications of Mr. McNulty, who is a completely innocent person in this regard. Mr. McNulty was formally nominated on 17 September.

Was walking to work [yesterday] morning through the grounds of IMMA and took a couple of pictures. Eerie ! Also got a threatening look off the guy on the bike for thinking out loud (due to having headphones in) and saying “f#%*ing prick on yer bike” after he passed me and ruined my humanless shot.
