#OTD in 1981 – The Stardust Ballroom in Artane, Dublin goes up in flames; forty-eight young people are killed and more than 100 are injured.

Forty-eight young people die in a fire at the Stardust club in Artane, Dublin. After sitting for 122 days and hearing evidence from three hundred and sixty-three witnesses, a government report found that the fire was ‘probably started deliberately,’ a finding long deemed contentious. The 2009 Report of Reopened Enquiry found that “on a prima facie basis: (1) that neither the Tribunal nor the…

'Hotly tipped for the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Oppenheimer, the Cork actor Cillian Murphy is also odds on favourite to be a guest on the sofa when Patrick Kielty hosts the Late Late Show for the first time on September 15.

One sure sign the Summer is nearing its end, the return of the Late Late Show for its 51st season is coming with added spice this Autumn given the departure of the previous host in May and the subsequent controversy surrounding payments not declared as part of his official RTÉ salary later in the Summer.

The announcement that Patrick Kielty, the Co. Down born comedian and actor, was to take over the role occupied by Ryan Tubridy and, prior to him, by Pat Kenny and Gay Byrne and an assortment of occasional hosts, was overshadowed by the controversy over the payments to Mr. Tubridy. This controversy led to a series of hearings before Dáil committees and a number of investigations are still ongoing.

The betting appears to be well underway to see who will be among the first guests on Patrick Kielty’s sofa when he takes over in September and, as well as the Cork born Oppenheimer and Wind Shakes The Barley star, odds are also being offered by Boyle Sports on Jamie Dornan, a fellow Down native, Christy Moore and Saoirse Ronan taking a seat on the couch...

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Paddy Kielty’s first guests may well be kept under wraps until the last minute, but speculation is rife already and with Cillian Murphy and Roy Keane among the favourites, we’re anticipating a box office line-up.”

The odds being quoted by Boyle Sports to appear in person as a guest on Patrick Kielty's first Late Late Show are as follows:

5/4 Jamie Dornan

5/4 Cillian Murphy...'

How am I meant to explain to anybody that’s not Irish that the person who radicalised me is a 78 year old cis straight white able bodied man with a guitar.

When little 8 year old me heard ordinary man for the first time, I became a whole new man.

"When you ride into the night without a trace behind

Run your claw along my gut, one last time

I turn to face an empty space, where once you used to lie

And look for a spark that lights the dark

Through a teardrop in my eye"

I looked at him, he looked at me, All I could do was hate him. While Ray and Philomena sang Of my elusive dream. I saw the streams and the rolling hills, Where his brown eyes were waiting. And I thought about a pair of brown eyes, That waited once for me.

... is such a searingly traumatic & homoerotic verse that you’d think it was from a siegfried sassoon poem or a wilfred owen poem or a pat barker novel about siegfried sassoon’s & wilfred owen’s poetry, but nope! it’s just christy moore rescuing another pogues song

#feel like i've read a whole novel every time i get to this part of the song & no one has this version up here yet sooooo #apologies to any pogues enjoyers in the audience but after two decades of the Fairytale Of New York Debate every christmas #i simply have to draw the line #audio #music #christy moore #a pair of brown eyes #anyway did you guys know tumblr is now doing audio post copyright claims?? not a nice surprise! #hence the silence at the end

#OTD in 1981 – Bobby Sands begins his hunger strike at Long Kesh prison. 

The choice of the start date was significant because it marked the fifth anniversary of the ending of special category status (1 March 1976). The main aim of the new strike was to achieve the reintroduction of political status for Republican prisoners. Edward Daly, Catholic Bishop of Derry, criticised the decision to begin another hunger strike. Sands was to lead the hunger strike but it was…

☘️ St Patrick's Day ☘️

As anyone who is Irish or has Irish connections can tell you, today is St Patrick’s Day, which is celebrated wildly by so many. I’m not Irish, but I have always liked a lot of the music that comes from the country, and for the past couple of years I have marked the occasion by playing some tunes. The selections were almost entirely different, but they covered some great music and it seemed like a…

We signed on together, we coupled our fate

Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail

For the hearts treasure, together we set sail"
