Great move. As the poet said - “if you don’t want to fuck me baby, fuck off”
Morning.
Congratulations to you! 🎉
A happy old lady is holding a blueberry pastry which has two lit candles stuck into it. The candles are gold, one is in the shape of the number one and the other is in the shape of the number nine - she is celebrating nineteen years sober
19 years sober today!!! 🎉🎈I’ve had so much help and kindness along the way and the great truth of it is the opposite of addiction is connection so please tell someone if you think you might need help, give yourself grace and take it one day at a time, these little days all add up! 💚 #grateful #sober
A very happy Bob Dylan fan in a stripy jumper is sitting on the stairs of a beautiful mid-19th Century Greek Revival house. The stairs are lined with beautiful ironwork, gently glowing lanterns, and elegant foliage, -all leading up to tall intricately patterned double doors which are open, giving a glimpse of the house’s interior which is brightly lit
Dylan fans, I know you know this spot! The fabulous Highway 61 Revisited stairs on Gramercy Park, where I got to plonk my arse down last night courtesy of the wonderful Harper House Music Foundation. Thanks to Laura Cantrell for the invite, and thanks to the extremely tolerant homeowners too!💚

In a lovely tea room bathed in soft golden light, three musicians sit around a low table covered in teacups and plates of cakes and little sandwiches. They are all smiling, properly buzzed on sugar and caffeine 💚
Just a perfect afternoon in Dublin with a couple of legends and a lovely cup of tea! Donal Lunny was and continues to be an immense influence on Irish music, and I loved hearing these two chat about future plans - thank you Steve for a lovely afternoon! 💚
A big day in Ireland as we vote for our next President! I think we've been absolutely blessed these past 14 years to be represented by Micheal D. Please use your vote - polling is open until 10pm! 💚 #election #aras25 #president @president.ie

A faded snap of the Pogues rhythm section playing live - they are wearing fancy dress sailors outfits - the Bassplayer is smoking and the drummer is laughing - there may be alcohol involved
Rum, Sodomy, and The Lash was released 40 years ago today! I’m very proud to say it’s one of Tom Waits’ favourite albums 💚 The launch party was on the HMS Belfast, in this pic I’ve no idea how I managed to keep the ash from falling but I hope I won the bet! 🏴☠️💚 #music #punk #happybirthday
Thank you Tom!
Exactly 💚
Join Jim and Charlie for a special introductory Q&A of 'Everything Is Possible', taking place on Thursday, June 12 at the IFC Center in New York. The conversation will be followed by a screening of the critically acclaimed Simple Minds documentary film.

I've just signed this petition to show my support for Kneecap in the face of abuse for their pro-Palestinian activism. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/we... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social
Do you know of any large old Elms in Ireland?
We're looking for really big old elms which have survived elm disease, despite it spreading everywhere across the country.
Please visit our dedicated website and let us know about any veteran elms out there!

good to see you in Ireland!
It was this time this day last year, soundchecking at Carnegie Hall for the immense tribute to Shane and Sinéad. It was such an emotional day and a really beautiful tribute, worthy of those sadly missed Irish legends. Where you there? 💚
So glad you enjoyed it Tom, thanks for listening!
This is a must-see! Edna's power and fragility, the nostalgic glimpses of 60s, 70s, 80s Ireland and London, her relationship with her parents and her children, the final interview in her majestic old age - oh wow the whole thing is so compelling - grab a ticket! 💚
congratulations!
congrats to you! 💪
The universe to me on 15th February 2007! 💚 I'm eighteen years sober today and grateful as fuck - big love! 💚 #grateful #sober #musician #odaat

Hey thanks so much for all the lovely texts and comments about my chat with Tommy Tiernan last night! I’m working in London at the mo so missed it but sure you don’t need me to tell the man is a total ledge and I was very happy to be there. Thanks Ciara for the pix 💚 #irish #tv #chat #musicianlife
