Some members of Ireland’s Tibetan community hold a vigil to mark the 58th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising of 1959 and the 9th anniversary of the Uprisings of 2008, when thousands of Tibetans rose up against China’s occupation of Tibet.
Tibetans and supporters mark March 10 each year to show solidarity with Tibetans inside Tibet and to honour and support the resistance to Chinese rule that continues to this day.

Another week, another serving of unreal alternative radio from the disruptors at Dublin Digital Radio, with heapings of on-demand content including highlights streaming above, and a packed schedule for the weekend.
Writes collective member AXXS:
We have been witnessing a huge interest and activity during our special 24 hours of Women’s Voices session that kicked off on Wednesday night, to broadcast female voices in support for #strike4repeal. Some highlights from that day include Dandelion and Aoife Nic Canna, who opened a night of amazing set of shows presented by artists and activists from around the capital. Kate Butler closed the night with her live set Witching Hour.
Other highlights from the past week have been: an incredibly pleasant show from Wah Wah Wadio with a mix of fresh house; Richie Bree & James Kirwan’s Sonntags Radio with some laid-back grooves, and a selection of their favorite records; IBM with a mix of tracks from Philip Jeck, Leroy Smart, unknown Tanzanian musicians and more; a very cool mix from Breen with soul and funk put together in his show Beneath the Bricks/w Breen. Also, a great selection of post-punk presented by Elastic Witch Radio.
As always we are excited for the weekend and yet again the upcoming list of shows is looking great, featuring live shows from the sound girls in Eve at 2pm on Saturday. The Adult Store 9pm on the same day is also something to look out for, and on Sunday we have All City x Jheri Trackswith a great selection of house, techno, experimental and electro, very cool!

Behold the Airbus Pop.Up Flying Vehicle Concept.
A vision of modular megacity transit by the aircraft manufacturer (in collaboration with Italdesign) which envisages the rolling/flying passenger pods interacting with rail, subway and hyperloops to create a ‘seamlessly integrated mobility solution’.
We want to believe.
