Hello! I’m writing about all the emotions one feels at high school and college reunions and would love to speak with anyone who’s experienced strong sexual tension/romantic vibes at theirs. Did you reconnect with an old crush, maybe make a new connection? If so, please DM me!

Eamonn Dowd & The Racketeers – Cu Chulainn’s Lament
Calling all Horslipss fans.
Two of the founding members of the legendary folk-rock ensemble Eamon Carr (top right) and Jim Lockhart recently reconvened in Arad Studio in Dublin to play on Eamonn Dowd’s reimagining of the old Horslips classic ‘Cu Chulainn’s Lament’ from their 1973 album The Táin.
In John Fleming’s newly uploaded video footage of the recording session (above), we see the collaboration take shape.
The finished result can be found on the album Songs From The Fever Ship.

‘Flicker’.

‘Flicker’ tells the story of Danny (Peter Newington), a twenty-something Dubliner, who finds himself struggling to accept the full extent of his injuries after an unprovoked assault.
Moving through the house-parties, nightclubs and bars of today’s Dublin, ‘Flicker’ explores the subtle pressures of contemporary Irish masculinity.
The film explores the ways in which young Irish men navigate and discuss trauma, mental health and emotional vulnerability.
