Hookhead lighthouse, Co.Wexford
From the air.
Derren Doyle, of Spéirview Ireland, writes:
With the permission of the Commissioners of Irish lights, we visited one of the oldest lighthouses in the world with our drones and cameras. The stunning Hookhead lighthouse in Co.Wexford claims to be the oldest operating lighthouse in the world.
The existing tower dates from the 12th century, though it’s believe an earlier beacon was established in the 5th century.
The current tower was requested by Strongbow’s son-in-law William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. Marshall had established a port in the town of New Ross and in order for his new port to be successful and for ships to safely reach their destination, Marshall had a 36m high tower built at the mouth of Waterford Harbour. The first map that shows the lighthouse serving its function is dated 1240.
Today, as well as serving and protecting those at sea, the area is popular with tourists and campers looking to enjoy the tranquility of the Atlantic ocean.

FIXITY – Cork percussionist leads sonic explorations
What you may need to know…
01. More improv from Leeside courtesy of drummer extraordinaire Dan Walsh and an assortment of collaborators.
02. He of The Great Balloon Race, Cork Improvised Music Club, jazz night Blue Note, and formerly of a million other bands and outfits, both as composer and session performer, of course.
03. Streaming above in its entirety is his new album Fixity, released on tape label KantCope.
04. Appearing last night as part of the label’s triple album launch at St. Luke’s in Cork, Fixity “represents the beginning of a project that will manifest itself in many ways”, according to Walsh himself.
Verdict: One of the country’s most prodigiously talented percussionists continues to explore his and his collaborators’ horizons.
