The boffins at Amazon say
You can get what you want in one day
Sent straight to your house
While you sit there and grouse
That your high street is dying away

Ahead of the Irish Open in July, Paul McGinley will join host Ryan Tubridy to discuss how preparations are coming along, and why he wants this tournament to be the biggest one yet…
In his new TV show, Wingman, Baz Ashmawy helps participants to embark on a journey of discovery to achieve something they wouldn’t have thought was possible…he joins Ryan….
…it’s been 25 years since Rock ‘n’ Roll Kids won the Eurovision Song Contest at the Point Theatre in Dublin, and to celebrate, we’ll have a special performance of the song by Paul Harrington, Niamh Farrell from Ham Sandwich, Ruth-Anne Cunningham, Ryan O’Shaughnessy and the Line-Up Choir.
Ryan will also be joined by Linda Martin, Paul Harrington, Rory Cowan and Mary Coughlan to discuss this year’s contest, and Sarah McTernan will perform Ireland’s 2019 entry, 22.
…We’ll also be meeting Nicholas Ryan Purcell who is a budding filmmaker with Asperger syndrome, and Ryan will be joined by three mothers and their three children to discuss the realities of living with autism.
The Late Late Show on RTÉ One tomorrow at 9.35pm.

Folk project The Unthanks are one of the wonders of the modern world. And Emily Brontë is one of the wonders of ye olde literary world.
So what could possibly be better than Northumberland’s finest musical ensemble performing a song cycle of the legendary Yorkshire writer’s poetry set to music?
Yet this has come to pass!
Rachel (top left), Becky (top right) and the gang have announced a show in Dublin’s National Concert Hall on November 3 (tickets at link below)
The concert follows on the back of their most recent album trilogy ‘Lines’, the third part of which features the Brontë song cycle, which was recorded in the Parsonage in Haworth, Yorkshire, where Emily lived and worked.
But before that, a stripped down line-up of The Unthanks featuring just Rachel, Becky and Niopha Keegan will raid their own extensive back catalogue when they play two Irish shows at Dundalk Spirit Store on May 29 and Dublin Pepper Canister Church on May 30.
Nick says: Heathcliff, it’s The Unthanks, they’ve come home!

A pigeon meets a dove and faces the decision on whether or not to leave the life he has built for himself in favour of following his heart.
