The Wha – Blue For You
Do you like guitars that go jangle?
Then you will love the new single by Kilkenny indie kids The Wha, which was recorded by legendary Smiths producer Stephen Street.
The video animation by Cameron West is a ray of sunshine too.
Singer Finn Cusack says:
“We were inspired by The Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ but wanted to put our own twist on it. Initially it started off as just a lyric video and then we got a bit carried away and then we ended up as cartoons.
“Abe from the band is a great illustrator and some of his sketches of the band made it into the video among locations from our hometown of Kilkenny.”
Nick says: Young Marble City giants.
Undisclosed location.

Dáil, Leinster House.
During leader’s questions, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (above) said:
“On Monday, Minister Harris announced the decision to make the flu vaccine available free of charge to all children aged between 2 and 12 this year. And to all of those defined as at risk, aged between 6 months and 69 years.
And, as we know, everyone over 70 already has access to the vaccine without charges. I believe we can save hundreds of lives this winter and every winter by a much greater uptake of the flu vaccine.
This matters now more than ever as we need to avoid a second wave of Covid-19 coming at the same time as the flu’ season.
It’s particularly important that uptake by healthcare workers is much better than in the past. This pandemic teaches us there is no excuse not to be vaccinated. We’ve experienced a small taste of what the world was like before vaccines and it hasn’t been good.”
FIGHT!
