Zapho – Water Me
A new single from songwriter, singer, musician and producer Zapho (Ele Breslin), from Rathfarnham, Dublin.
Emma Harney writes:
In Water Me, Zapho builds a rich sonic landscape, layered with harmonies, hooks and, strangely, owl hooting. In an ecstatic live performance, it becomes an ode to the thirst for living, breathing and growing. And yet, when all is said and done, this is just really catchy pop and really good fun.
Received numerous calls from Unionists who had to get up and leave the Tommy Tiernan concert (actor in Derry Girls) in the Ulster Hall due to comments made regarding contentious issues. Understand some have asked for a PSNI investigation to be started.

Are DUP politicians familiar with the work of Myles na gCopaleen? The idea of police resources focusing on examing the content of stand-up comedy jokes could have come from his pen. https://t.co/RW9yRW0x8U

Hey you, forgetful guitarist! Why did you leave your acoustic guitar in Hatch Lane, Dublin 2 last Friday (March 8) between 3.50pm and 4.30pm?
Don’t worry. It’s being looked after (and has new strings on now).
Get in touch [Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie) with the make and description and I’ll get it back to you…

Political fans should take note
That tomorrow the MPs will vote
One more time on May’s deal
But deep down I feel
They’ll give her no reason to gloat
