Banyah – Watch You Go
Together in electro dreams.
Pop duo Paul and Aisling Jarvis (top) knock it out of the park with their new single.
Banyah say:
“Watch You Go itself is a song about complicated relationships and heartache; Aisling and Paul both pulling influences from their past experiences. Whether it be romantic or platonic, love has many grey areas.”
Nick says: Romantica.

Going anywhere nice this year?
This afternoon
Fergal Bowers, RTÉ News Health Correspondent, writes:
‘It used to be the case that returning from a holiday abroad with a nice suntan was something to flaunt to friends and neighbours.
Arriving back, still in a colourful top and shorts, pulling a noisy suitcase along the road, was part of the ‘I’m home’ routine.
But not anymore.
With Covid-19 and the travel advice and restrictions, foreign holidays have taken on a clandestine element.
A newly-tanned face and body is not a good look these days. It gets heads turning and prompts questions.
So a quiet return, under cover of darkness, is the new way.
Any failure to self-isolate will be noticed in these very changed times….’
Anyone?
Seriously?
Any excuse.
We must learn to co-exist alongside our Covid-19 enemy (Fergal Bowers, RTÉ)
Vial Bodies

This morning.
A total of 14 blood samples – some possibly containing alcohol or even spliff – off to an unnamed white-coated boffin for analysis.
The samples were among the spoils of ‘intoxication checkpoints’ carried out over the Bank Holiday weekend by the Regional Roads Policing Unit based at Dublin Castle.
The streets are a little safer today.
