Oh.

“We are very proud of our Irish culture and dance and are excited to see that it has spread throughout the entire world and that people everywhere want to celebrate Irish culture,”Why should we starve these people of their enjoyment of Irish dance just because they live in a country whose politics we do not agree with?
“…War crimes and atrocities are happening all over the world and maybe Irish dancing and this feis will ease the pain and suffering of some of the good people that live in these countries that have NOTHING to do with these war crimes.”

Statement from The Carey Academy Israel

Further to our post on Saturday’s  20th anniversary of the Sound Crowd Orchestra.

Donal Scannell writes:

Sound Crowd were the soundtrack to the underground rave scene centred on the Olympic ballroom on Grantham Terrace [Dublin]. They later made the SFX their home for shows memorable for their gardai-baiting cut ups of visuals from Garda patrol. This video is their only one for a remix of Blink’s Cello which I made for them in 1995. It was found again after some furious digging through storage boxes. It was shot on the stage of the SFX on 16mm film which was the ultimate luxury then.
