London rapper Plan B implores the audience at Slane to throw p*ss at him and adds “You’re the tamest crowd I’ve ever f**king met in my life”.
Because there’s nothing an Irish audience love more than to be shouted at by a bloke with a cockney accent.
Nice.

An estimated 430,000 people enjoyed the biggest ever Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Derry over the last week where orange and green played in a trouble-free atmosphere.
Why is there such a contrast between Derry’s Fleadh and Belfast’s Flegs?
Steven McCaffery writing in The Detail may have an answer:
But there will be lots of discussion about why Derry is broadly dealing better with cultural tensions than other areas – it is at least showing what is possible and providing an example to learn from.
Recent figures show that the Catholic and Protestant populations are balancing-out in Northern Ireland which, regardless of the failings of politics, provides its own dynamic towards the ultimate emergence of a shared future.
These are times that demand a live-and-let-live attitude. Flexibility is called for. Dialogue is required.
The message of the Fleadh is simple: we need a change of tune.
As the peace process struggles, why is Derry different? (Steven McCaffery, The Detail)

Dolly Parton aficionados have long since discovered the bonus awesomeness of slowing down the singer’s records to highlight the complexity and nuance of her voice.
In case you’ve never heard it, her 1973 classic Jolene slowed down from 45rpm to a brooding 33rpm – as someone on BBC R4 recently put it – is especially ‘full of win’.
