I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

'Stolen Lives', a documentary film I scored for bang bang teo plays July 10th at @galwayfilm.bsky.social in The Town Hall Galway.
The film has a heightened poignancy given the recent death of the woman at the heart of the piece, Sunny Jacobs, in tragic circumstances.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".

What's next for Irish music?
What does the recent trajectory of the arts in Ireland – from Arts Council funding increases to the Basic Income pilot – mean for musicians? And how can we further strengthen music across Ireland?
