Seagulls forced back to the sea as food becomes harder to find in the capital’s streets.

I’d love you ALL to feature in my next music video…

I have just released a new album ‘Never Say Goodbye’ and since we’re all in isolation at the moment I’ve come up with a fun creative idea that you, your family & your kids can all get involved in.

What do you need to do?

Record yourself rocking out to this song, playing air guitar, doing handstands, sing into your hairbrush, whatever you like! The more creative the better.

If you have a child, an adult, a grandparent or house hold pet who plays guitar, drums, keyboard etc record them playing along.

Don’t worry about the audio, that will be overdubbed.

Video must be shot in landscape (hold your phone horizontally while recording).

Then email your clip to me at luanlive@gmail.com

I found this girl’s phone on O’Connell Street Bridge [Dublin 1]. Anyone know her?

This morning.

Via RTÉ News:

RTÉ is planning to broadcast an hour of ‘school on TV’ to support children and their parents at home.

It is part of a cross-platform teaching initiative that is being pulled together by RTÉ at short notice with the support of the Department of Education.

It is hoped that the one-hour programme will begin on Monday 30 March. It will run from 11am to 12pm, Monday to Friday on RTÉ2, with a shorter “catch-up” segment later in the afternoon. It will be aimed particularly at children in 1st to 6th class.
