Huge thanks to Conor and Sid from Yop for organising the gig in The NCF in Ballina on Friday night. We had a deadly time. They’re a really sound bunch there and we’re really glad we got the chance to play there.
Yop were deadly and Sean Gorman was class.

Alt text: Promotional poster for the Mayo.ie Western People Women’s Mini Marathon. The background is a teal-to-blue gradient with scattered dots. On the left, white text reads: “Mayo.ie Western People Women’s Mini Marathon.” Below, event details state: “Sunday 3rd May 2026, Ballina | Co. Mayo | 12 Noon.” A white silhouette of a woman running appears near the text. On the right, a brightly coloured women’s athletic T-shirt is displayed, featuring a pink collar and sleeves and a gradient pattern of pink, yellow, and green dots. The front of the shirt is branded with “Mayo.ie” and “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” Beside it is a matching eco medal with a navy ribbon reading “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” A circular badge near the top says “T-shirt for first 1900 registered.” Additional text on the left reads: “Earlybird entry €25* – Entry includes T-shirt and eco medal.” Logos for Western People, Mayo.ie, and Mayo Sports Partnership appear along the bottom. At the very bottom, white text says: “Register at westofirelandwomensminimarathon.com,” followed by small print noting earlybird availability until April 6th, €30 thereafter, and optional postage up to April 22nd.
The big one (biggest outside Dublin obvs) is back in #Ballina this year and this is a beaut of a tee is it not? 🌈
Registration opens tomorrow at noon at www.westofirelandwomensminimarathon.com for the measly sum of €25
Gis a share, g'wan ♥️
A scan of a colour photo taken in 1980. We're inside a pub or social club and the square image is a badly-framed shot of three women sitting next to each other on a green sofa with glasses raised, posing for a photo. All we can see of the women is their shoulders upwards and behind them there's a wooden handrail and spindles forming a partial barrier to a space beyond that where there's a door, likely to the toilets. The walls are covered in wallpaper that's a pale orange tone with a large pattern not too dissimilar to a scaled-up wire fence. The three women are middle-aged, all with fairly short hair, and the two on the left are wearing glasses while raising rounded wine glasses. The woman on the right has a highball glass with dark liquid that's probably Bacardi and Coke.
Another classic from the badly-framed photo collection for #ThrowbackThursday and this was taken by my dad in 1980 on a trip to Ireland to see family. That's my mum on the right and two of her many sisters, my aunts Una and Lily. This was probably a pub in […]

Tales of sectarian floods, treasure at Mass rock and a surprisingly large IRA raid as I cycle out of the Ox mountains in #Sligo to #Ballina on #Eurovelo 1 - I end this segment at the #Dolmen of the Four Mauls

A low angle, night time photograph. A single, bright street lamp is centered in the frame, casting a strong, star like glow. The light illuminates the twisted branches and spiky, palm like foliage of two or more Pandanus trees (or similar coastal plants) that arch in from the left and right, creating a natural frame against the deep black sky. The ground beneath the lamp is dimly visible.
A stark tropical glow. Night falls on the coast, illuminated by a single street lamp.
