Paddy Goodwin & The Holy Ghosts – Break For The Border
Saddle up, folks.
The times they are dismaying so a swamp blues protest song of sorts is very much called for.
Step forward former Trouble Pilgrim Paddy Goodwin, who delivers a scathing j’accuse of our political overlords.
His backing band here includes Horslips legend Jim Lockhart on flute and keyboards and we must give a shout out to Enda Whyte for the powerful visceral video.
Paddy can be seen in action on September 19 when he plays guitar for The Atrix at their album retrospective launch in The Sugar Club.
Nick says: A win/win.

Now who wants to give me an @EPfestival ticket and where did I leave my sunscreen😜🤣
Anyone?

A Muslim girl and her cousin were assaulted in Dundrum today. They ripped off her hijab and pelted them with eggs. These scumbag attackers need to be brought into the public eye. pic.twitter.com/aElFvlrN7Q

In Dundrum, County Dublin.
Gardai are reportedly investigating the incident.
Surf’s up.
Documentary filmaker Ross Whittaker writes:
Tonight is the long awaited (by me) Irish TV Premiere of the surf film we made, Betweeen Land and Sea.
It follows a year in the life of surf town Lahinch [County Clare} and features some very unique, brave and sound people.
Between Land and Sea on RTÉ Two at 10.15.

Anyone know if Hawkeye can detect if a ball has passed a certain point or just tracks the flight path the ball takes or both?

Meanwhile…
During an item on the recruitment drive on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland this morning, Vivienne Kavanagh, Dublin Bus Employee Development and Equality Executive, was asked about pay.
Ms Kavanagh said:
“It starts at about €630 a week. And that’s a four-day week, inclusive of shift and Sunday premium so they’re working late shifts on Thursdays, over weekends. And then you move up onto a five-day week which is about €860.”
