The Cork News reports:
An exhibition on Sir Henry’s is being compiled focusing on the legendary and iconic Cork city music venue. The project, to be exhibited at the Boole Library, University College Cork from July to September, will curate materials on Sir Henry’s distinctive history through both tangible and intangible sources, including material artefacts and oral histories.
The project by DJ Stevie G; Eileen Hogan, lecturer at the School of Applied Social Studies, UCC; and Martin O Connor of the Boole Library, UCC, is to illuminate, in a fun and accessible way, a sense of what Sir Henry’s was like and why it was significant to the people of Cork and beyond. In short, it will be about the venue’s emotional, aesthetic, musical, cultural, and historical value and legacy.
Anyone who would like to contribute any memorabilia from the club, such as posters, fliers, photographs or ticket stubs can email sirhenrys2014@gmail.com

A two-minute silent movie of a tram ride, from King Street to Patrick’s Bridge in Cork, from 1902.
1902.
BFI Player writes:
As well as its extensive railway network, Cork was served by an impressive tramway system, which was just four years old when this film was made. As the tram veers into Patrick Street the filmmakers capture an excellent panorama of Patrick’s Bridge, one of the city’s major landmarks, and the bustling atmosphere of the commercial centre. This kind of ‘phantom ride’ was a staple of early film.
Phwoar.

This morning at St. Anne’s Church, Shandon, Cork city.
By Stiofan O’Rian.
But HOW on earth did he DO that?
Stiofan explains:
Pick a spot, find the north star (it’s no closer on the northside, unfortunately), aim the camera in that direction. Take 150 photos over an hour while trying to keep warm, passing the time by talking to drunk people walking by and overhearing arguments with taxi drivers. Then go home and stack all of the photos on top of each other so that the trail of stars can be seen. The only editing is in lining all the dots alongside each other – the rotation of the earth does the rest.
Crikey.
