Hello you.

A pint [see below] of Italian iced coffee Irish style with unidentified moustachioed barista.

At  the Bernard Shaw, Richmond Street, Dublin today.

Slurp.

UPDATE: “That’s just perspective. Tis a half pint. Serving a full pint of coffee would be about as responsible as serving a bottle of Buckfast,” The Bernard Shaw.

“A decent night of new music with independent alternative promoters Homebeat helping folk electronica duo Carriages launch their field-recordings-featuring new single Roots (video here) along with promising Galway folk talent Maria Somerville and a spoken word “poetician”. The tour continues with Homebeat and Carriages taking the show along the Wild Atlantic Way (see poster for dates).
