I went to lunch in the institution that is Fusco’s, Meath Street, Dublin today. The menu has remained unchanged for as long as I can remember. Managed to get a snap of it. It’s just a joy. I’d wager a few readers could name the “plaice” from the menu. It’ll give the spelling Nazis something to give out about anyway.

 

And meet Fellipo, the kickboxing Italian behind Fusco’s:

[This is] the first installment of Live at Kinine, what will hopefully become a regular collaboration of musicians, set in a studio in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, hosted by Paul Brady. This video features a song of Paul’s from his 1987 album Primitive Dance, titled “The Soul Commotion”. We had a great time playing this, dance routines and all! Watch this space for the next video in the series, Fiach’s “Don’t Want To Let You Down”

I see Broadsheet is having a bit of a Boss day. Sending you a snap of an original gig tee from 1988 which belongs to my dad. (I stole it from him and wear it. I would have been four when he went to this concert.) It says ‘Stage’ on the back… Take from that what you will. I haven’t got tickets for the gig tonight {at the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin], wish I did!

 

Anyone got a spare?

Niamh Geoghegan and Shirley Fitzpatrick decided to build a mobile sauna and travel around Ireland.

The Bosca Beatha left the Hill of Tara on the Summer Soltice (June 21).

Sez Niamh:

We both understand the complete randomness of this adventure but feel that it is the perfect time to remind people about the endless possibilities of their own imaginations. I am tired of all the constant stream of negative news and look forward to discovering the hidden gems, humour, music and sceals of this special island.

Among its many other gifts, I envisage the Bosca Beatha to be bringer of good news stories and I will endeavour to share these with you as we move along. Keep your eyes open and towels at hand, the Bosca Beatha is on its way.

 

AND they met some literally hot and sweaty surf dudes in Easky, Co Sligo.

Bosca Beatha
