Gerr Walsh – A Million Moons

Planet Earth is blue.

Dublin singer/songwriter Gerr Walsh (top) returns with a fine new single about “distance, memory and loss”.

Gerr’s yearning vocal and Max Greenwood‘s piano combine to create a real emotional kick.

The video, which was created by Gerr using stock footage, has echoes of Bowie and OK Computer-era Radiohead.

Catch him live with Alice Jago at The Cobblestone, Smithfield, Dublin 7, on April 17.

Nick says: Interstellar by starlight.

Meanwhile…

Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil will hold talks later today in Dublin – the first time the two parties will sit down for discussions since the General Election was held on 8 February.

However, Fine Gael sources continue to stress that these talks are not about government formation, but rather exchanges of policy positions.

US Democrat Presidential hopeful Joe Biden

Joe Biden just pulled off the biggest, fastest and most unexpected comeback in modern political history.

Nothing about the former vice president’s electoral history, hitherto lackluster campaign and the dynamics of this presidential race suggested his Super Tuesday rampage.

The former vice president’s three White House campaigns were a punchline until Saturday. It took the 78-year-old 33 years to win a single nominating contest. Now he’s suddenly turned into a primary machine, reeling off 10 wins in a span of four nights.

President Donald Trump weighed in on Super Tuesday results Wednesday morning, focusing mainly on his claim that the Democrats are plotting to deny the nomination to his favored candidate, Bernie Sanders.

“The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN!” Trump tweeted early Wednesday after a series of primaries generated more convention delegates for Joe Biden.
