I know you don’t normally do this but my guitar (above) was stolen from the boot of my car about two weeks ago. My car was parked on Jervis Street, Dublin 1. It’s not very expensive but has sentimental value.

I was learning to play and it was given to me by a friend. It’s hard to find an exact replacement online. I’m not holding out much hope but would appreciate any help! Many thanks…

Anyone?

Anne Marie, from Uplift, writes:

Uplift, with support from the trade union Unite, commissioned a Red C public opinion poll on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) trade deals. From the results…

– 74% of people polled in Ireland want a referendum on TTIP and CETA.
– 62% agree that EU standards should not be changed to match US or Canadian standards.
– 4 out of 5 people don’t think that US or Canadian corporations should be allowed to sue EU governments whose legislative changes affect their profits.
– 69% of people would be concerned if TTIP or CETA were agreed

We, the Partisans, thought you should share this video which exposes the horrifying truth about Artisan Juice.

The Partisans are a group of dissenting Artisan employees who seek to expose the truth about the working conditions behind the universally recognised brand.

Hero In Error – Dublin metal/hardcore veterans ready new material

What you may need to know…

01. Having featured on metal bills up and down the country for the better part of a decade, Hero in Error feel like they’ve been a part of Irish music forever.

02. Getting their start in 2008, the band began to ascend in 2011, with E.P. The High Point of New Lows releasing on Sony-distributed US indie Mediaskare.

03. Following some personnel shifts, the band returns with their first new single in quite some time, The Hollow Truth, streaming above.

04. The band hit the road again shortly in support of the single, on September 23rd and 24th, to be precise, with a formal announcement on venues due shortly.

Verdict: A rousing return for the band, built on big riffs and a sonorous hook. Here’s to more.
