I’ve had some time to put together a time-lapse of some Aurora shots taken 27th of March 2012. Taken from Co. Mayo. It consists of about 140, 30-second exposures condensed to approx 50 seconds. There was lots of activity in the cloudless sky that night with two vivid outbursts from the Northern Light. The clip ends with a view of the Aurora, Venus, Pleiades and a Crescent Moon casting reflections on the North Atlantic! All with a top tune from Ian Brown!

Brainchild of Simon Maher, formerly general manager of Phantom 105.2.

I’ve been asking people what they listen to for a year now and so many people have deserted traditional radio altogether which is a great shame.
People still love music though so they have replaced their terrestrial radio listening with online radio/spotify/deezer and their own playlists which are by their nature a bit less structured than traditional radio.
So, when we started putting the music for 8Radio together, we have gone for a much more random selection.
The 8Radio philosophy is simple – we play the music we like. Everything from 80s synth pop to brand new Irish and international gems to 70s post-punk. If the song is good, we will play it

Going Logos

When 15 year old Tom Halpin saw Logos Hope in Hong Kong, he rushed on board to meet the crew. In 2009, Tom, then an agnostic, had visited the ship in his home city of Dublin, Ireland with his youth group. During a service on board a man called Justin from Bermuda asked if people wanted to leave their sin behind and truly commit to following God, to stand up with their eyes closed. “I told myself I wouldn’t ever stand up,” said Tom, “but an overwhelming force came from beneath me, I opened my eyes and I was standing up.” Today, Tom helps run a kids club at his church, organising games and teaching the Bible. “Thank you to the Logos Hope crew for giving God the chance to speak to me,” he added.
