Saturday September 20: Cloud Castle Lake, Somerville @ Whelan’s, Camden Street, Dublin (€10)
Nialler9 writes:
Culture Night has lots of events of interest this year on Friday night but apart from that, there’s the free BlueFire Street Fest in Smithfield on Saturday and Saturday night sees two of Ireland’s young talents: the jazz/indie/rock trio of Cloud Castle Lake launch their debut EP Dandelion with support from the bewitching Maria Somerville. Singer Daniel McAuley’s’ falsetto might not be for everyone but there’s no denying the nuanced arrangement in a song like Sync (above).
What you may need to know:
1. A father discovers his deceased son’s secret musical talents and with the help of a fellow music enthusiast bring this talent to life.
2. This is William H Macy‘s directorial debut. We will always have Jerry Lundegaard from the big screen Fargo (1996).
3. It also stars Justin Beiber’s on off girlfriend Selena Gomez.
4. The soundtrack is all original songs by Simon Steadman (formerly of Steadman) and ex Tears for Fears producer Charlton Pettus, otherwise known as indie duo SolidState.
5. Broadsheet Prognosis: Rudderless in some safe seas.
Release Date: TBC

Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe
Yes.
Very.
Mr Donohoe confirmed he had discussed with Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald last night Sgt Maurice McCabe’s latest allegations that several hundred penalty points are continuing to be terminated every month by members of the force.
“Both of us agree that they’re very, very serious and they must be investigated…It is hugely important that these areas be investigated properly and it be done in a clear manner,” he said.
Penalty point allegations ‘very, very serious’ – Donohoe (IrishTimes)
So.
How many can access the new system?
Interim Garda Commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan said the timeline in relation to these allegations was very important. She said only three people could cancel penalty points under the new system introduced in June.
Hmm.
That seems to narrow it down to three people.
It’s a two-piper.

Would you like a YEAR long membership to the Bewley’s Coffee Project?
The Bewley’s Coffee WHAT!?

SPLUTTER!
“Bewley’s master roaster will select exceptional coffees and hand-roast them to perfection before delivering them straight to your door. In each delivery you’ll find everything you need to help your understand the world of speciality coffee, from different origins to brew methods….”
Gulp.

UPDATE: The winner:
“Please give a year of Bewley’s Coffee Project to my girlfriend because she works herself into the GROUND but still hasn’t got a BEAN to spend on anything other than generic supermarket coffee. Their coffee is weak and makes her LATTE for work sometimes, which is causing problems with her boss, a smug AMERICANO who thinks that the working day should be 16 hours long with no breaks. He has ESPRESSO’d his dissatisfaction with her timekeeping and if he sacks her, we can’t afford a BARRISTA to defend her case in court. Seriously though, she’s brilliant, and she loves good coffee and this would make her year.” (Custo)
Thanks all.
