Quebec-based photographer Ulric Collette’s spliced portrait of his 61 year-old mother and 10 year-old daughter.
By far the least weird of his ongoing Portraits Génétiques project.

Finbarr Furey (right) launches into the ballad The Green Fields of France at the launch of the book The Green Fields Of France with pupils from St Paul’s YEP {Youth Education Project}, Finglas, Dublin.
The Green Fields Of France (the buke) was written by (top from left) Ciaran, O’Connor, Jamie Broughan, Aaron Boylan with Michael McDonagh (not pictured) helped by their teacher Nora Kielty.
It “examines the life of young [fictional] Willie McBride {killed in the First World War] and looks at questions posed through the lyrics of the song”.
FIGHT!
*The buke published by Glasnevin Cemetery Museum will be available in the museum’s gift shop.

Many more here.

German band Die Rakede perform Bitte Bitte (Tischkoncert) using beer bottles, hand claps, pens, helium and some class of cable thingie the chap on the right makes the ‘burr’ noise with.

We have a ‘family’ ticket [4 /5 people] to give away for the Opening night of Snow White on December 4 at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin.
Probably the most psychologically profound beanstalk-free panto you’ll see this holiday season Snow White stars Waterford singer Megan William, plucked from an open audition.
To be in with a chance to win, just complete this sentence.

Lines close at 5.15pm. 6.15pm. No cash, favours, tickets were given for this post. Indeed, we even promised to print this:
The Gaiety Theatre has hosted the annual Christmas Panto each year since 1873. Today, families come from far and wide to the Gaiety Christmas Panto and for many it has become a true Christmas tradition. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will begin a 6-week run from December 1 – 12th January 2014. Standard tickets are priced from €19.50 and are on sale now from usual outlets nationwide.
Thanks Joanne

Can you help? I saw this photo in the Regency Hotel [Swords Road, Dublin] and no one [at the hotel] knows who the photographer is. My da is in the photo [arrowed] and it would mean the world to get a copy of it, if anyone knows where I could get a copy it would mean the world to me.
Anyone?
