Luke Creighan, owner of The Natural Bakery chain, with the first ‘Skull Bread’ of Halloween to emerge from his oven. This Saturday, ‘head’ to your nearest Natural Bakery Store for a limited edition ‘Skull Bread’ – ready to decorate or, as we like to do,  garnish with bright red jam.

Dream Eyes – Heaven

Eyes on the prize.

Dream Eyes is the nom de plume of Tadhg Collins (top) from Monagea, county Limerick, but now based in Dublin. His shift in sound from acoustic to electronic sounds was born of necessity.

Tadhg writes:

“I was in a motorbike accident and got hit by a car, in 2019. Yeah, it was quite a big change in my life actually. My left arm was paralysed for a year and a half. It’s slowly kinda coming back to life again! I wasn’t able to play acoustic guitar for a long time, so I played synths.”

‘Heaven’ is his fourth single and was co-produced by Kieran Lane.

Nick says: Immortal synths.

Um.

Couldn’t happen here.

It may have been his second booster.

Impossible to tell.

Workers’ tips are to be protected under new legislation

Employers who think they can slip
Their greasy hands into a tip
Then turn round and say
It’s part of your pay
Are being sent on a guilt trip

Further to an attempted eviction earlier today involving gardai, activists from a group known as That Social Centre regained access to a  derelict building they first occupied last month promising “to clean up, build infrastructure, host events and workshops”.
