A friend of mine in the US [Miami Ad School student Tadhg Ennis, who is working as a bartender to pay for tuition] made this vid as a college project and I think it’s suitable for the day that’s in it….

A lovely video about some locals adjusting to their new bartender. Enjoy.

panel

A Shamrock Shake-flavoured thank you to, clockwise from top left: Olga Cronin, Johnny Keenan, Ruth Curran and Neil Curran who with Mike McGrath Bryan (not pictured) comprised our panel for last night’s Patrick’s Eve Broadsheet on the Telly.

A number of last minute, possibly booze-related cancellations, forced a reduced panel to make do and improvise.

What they created was nothing short of free-form chat jazz.

Subjects included The Undocumented, face time with Trump and Johnny’s “troll hell”. Some swearing.

The show can be viewed in its entirety above.

Thanks all

If you would lime to take part in future shows please send email with short bio to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie marked ‘Broadsheet on the Telly’.

Last night: Broadsheet on the Telly TONIGHT

Yesterday.

The White House

Irish journalist takes a selfie/photo-of-ceiling during Donald Trump and Enda Kenny St Patrick press conference in the Oval Office.

It’s not about YOU.

Harrumph.

Meanwhile…

The local guys were already complaining in the White House press room. They’d never before seen such an unmerciful scramble. “I’m surprised they even have TV in Ireland,” a cameraman was overhead snarking to a colleague…

FIGHT!

Media goes wild for Trump, but the feeling is not mutual (Miriam Lord, IrishTimes)

[r]evolution of a sun – Cork hardcore veterans reuniting for a good cause

What you may need to know…

01. At varying points throughout their over-decade-long run, Cork metal/hardcore band [r]evolution of a sun, anchored by Cork metal mainstays Noel Lynch, Christophe Erpelding, and Eoin Kelleher, had up to seven or eight members in a single live line-up.

02. They were ridiculously heavy, a reputation hammered home by three extended-players, the highlight of which is 2007’s Sacrificehellroutine, and Hell, an album that was a decade in the making.

03. The aforementioned is available for streaming above, and free download from their Bandcamp. The album is an unloved belter also.

04. They return from retirement for a charity show on April 13th at Fred Zeppelin’s in Cork. A benefit gig for the family of much-missed engineer and producer Laurence White, the line-up also includes Bisect and Hope is Noise.

Thoughts: One of the heaviest, sludgiest, most unforgiving bands to ever surface on our island. Should be visceral to see again live.
