Podge and Rodge are now huge Irish celebrities running their own talk show on RTE. They do things on this show to very famous people that you would not believe. So, hold up, you say, who are Podge and Rodge? Well they’re puppets who [...]

Well, it was out to Brideswell last night for some world-class trad. I always regret it when I can’t make the bi-monthly session, because if you miss one, it’s almost a month between the last and the next one you’ll attend. This session was a very well-attended one with the core guitar/bouzouki/uilleann pipe instrumentation plus [...]

So I was listening to Gerry Ryan today and, at the end of his show Fiona Looney came on and the two of them began discussing halloween. They mentioned that Ireland has recently adopted a number of very american traditions in their celebrations of the holiday, but they also noted that a lot of what [...]

The local rugby club has a bar in its clubhouse called The Bounty. They used to run a weekly traditional session on Sundays which was discontinued until recently. That is to say, it’s back.
