The Latchikos write:
At a festival on Achill Island in Co Mayo, a storyteller is in full flight and, while channelling a vulgar barman character, drops an F-bomb and some swearing.
He then gets interrupted by young nine-year-old girl and told “watch your language”.
The story then adjusts and takes on a wild energy culminating in a raucus dance party.
Wa-hey.
The video was taken when Aindrias de Staic and The Latchikos at the Achill Pure Magic Wind Surf Festival last autumn.
Aindiras is on tour in Co Cork this week with his spoken word/storytelling show The Man from Moogaga which won Best Radio Comedy at the Celtic Media Awards.
Tonight, he’ll be in Bartlemy Parish Hall at 8pm; tomorrow night he’ll be at Ballynoe Community Centre at 8pm; on Saturday, he’ll be at The Mall Arts Centre in Youghal at 8pm; and on Sunday he’ll be at The Palace Theatre in Fermoy at 8pm.
Next Friday, February 21, he’ll perform at the Linnenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar, Co Mayo. Tickets for all events at the door.
Meanwhile, Aindiras and The Latchikos will play Whelan’s in Dublin on February 27.
Thanks Aindrias

This morning/afternoon.
A source said:
‘[Javid] has turned down the job of chancellor of the exchequer. The prime minister said he had to fire all his special advisers and replace them with Number 10 special advisers to make it one team. The chancellor said no self-respecting minister would accept those terms.’
Fight!

The freak out continues.
This morning.
Buswells Hotel, Dublin 2.
Obstreperous Irish Daily Mail Political Editor John Lee (pic 2 left) challenges Sinn Féin’s leadership, including Mary Lou McDonald, (top), on the industrial wage and other matters at a gathering of the party’s newly-elected TDs.
Mr Lee outlined the possibility of a Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael/Green Party ‘Grand’ coalition in this morning‘s Irish Daily Mail.
Update:
Drama at the Sinn Féin press conference as Irish Mail on Sunday political editor @leeofthemail asks why Mary Lou McDonald won’t take questions from the media. “It’s a bit regal not to take questions…..Why would you bring us all here if we’re not allowed ask questions?”#GE2020 pic.twitter.com/Uib3UmjWXG

Fine Gael’s Simon Coveney and Leo Varadkar during their leadership contest in May 2017
This morning.
Fine Gael TD Simon Coveney spoke to Seán O’Rourke on RTÉ Radio One.
During their discussion, Mr O’Rourke asked Mr Coveney about Leo Varadkar’s leadership of Fine Gael following the general election result.
They had this exchange:
Seán O’Rourke: “What about the Fine Gael leadership at this time?”
Simon Coveney: “I don’t think there’s any, ehhm, moves, ehhh, ehh, to change leader in Fine Gael. I don’t think there’s any appetite for that. There’s a lot of trust in Leo Varadkar within Fine Gael. He’s only been a leader for two-and-a-half years or so.
“I think he’s only getting started. So I think Fine Gael will look at this election result, we’ll try to learn from it.
“Clearly we’ve made some mistakes and the public expressed an anger about that during this election and we need to be both realistic and humble in relation to the mistakes that we’ve made and learn from them and come back and respond to that as a political party that is, you know, deeply committed to everybody in Irish society, not just the people who vote for us but the people who voted for Sinn Féin and others as well. And we’ll do that.”

Morning commute through Dublin. Love the vibrancy of the colours as the city begins to wake up and come alive.
Rapper Slowthai and comedian Katherine Ryan at the NME awards ceremony
Last night.
London, United Kingdom.
Slowthai – who released his debut album There’s Nothing Great About Britain last May – was collecting the award for Hero of the Year when he began leering at comedian Katherine [Ryan].
The rapper, real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton, began urging Katherine to “smell my cologne” as he added “smells good don’t it” and shushed her.
Slowthai then called Katherine “babygirl”, adding: “If you want to do something, see me later,” before walking off.
The rapper was then seen attempting to lean his head on 36-year-old Katherine’s breasts…
And that’s his Wednesday night.
