A multi award-winning 2015 Royal College of Art graduation short by Rory Waudby-Tolley, Mr Madila (or The Colour of Nothing) dramatises a series of conversations between the film-maker and a gifted spiritual healer, by turns funny and unexpectedly deep, exploring the inner mind, the fabric of the universe, and the nature of reality itself. To wit:
Everything is mostly nothing. Look closely and you can see all the little bits and pieces, and all the gaps in-between.
We’re out of punny headlines featuring the word “Quarter”, so we’ll get straight to it: acrobats/performance messers Lords of Strut have been added to Quarter Block Party in Cork, the weekend after next.
And will perform in a bistro!
Famous Séamus (above holding Seantastic) will back in town on Saturday February 4 at 7pm, and are cooking up a storm. To wit:
What if Lords of Strut were not the dancing acrobatic legends we know today, but were two unknown brothers working for their uncle Tony, in his Bistro on North Main Street? The brothers spend each day of their week serving Tony’s customers, while they dream of becoming the greatest dancers that ever lived…
The fantastic comedy duo Lords of Strut have devised a site-specific show set in Tony’s Bistro, North Main Street. Lords of Strut will be serving a high energy, spandex fueled, comedic soap opera. Heavily peppered with hilarious dance routines and spicy melodrama; take a seat and have a full helping of Strut!
Gníomh títhíochta anois!

We interrupt our regularly-scheduled posting for some reader-generated content, this time from Copenhagen-based Irishman Richard Farrell.
Ploughing a furrow in blues, soul and other musical traditions, he’s doing some of his faves inbetween the serious business of assembling his band’s second record.
He writes:
Currently I’m writing and organising music for my next album in an awe inspiring artist residency in the south of France outside of Carcassonne called La Muse.
Each week I am recording some of my favourite songs in an acapella style. Above is a version of an old blues and gospel song,’Angels Singin’, by The Reverend Gary Davis recorded in the cavernous hallways at La Muse….
So, PM rushes to be photographed with Trump and Erdogan but won’t find time to speak to Irish Dail. Has No.10 completely lost the plot?

Behold: the Kreisel Electric G-Class – a rebranded, former V8 diesel Mercedes G-Wagon refitted with an all-electric powerplant. Capable of 0-100km/h in under 6 seconds and with a 300km range, the vehicle loses none of its heavyweight SUV chops.
For now, just a Schwarzenegger-approved prototype, but moving toward inevitable mass production.
