It was a lovely way to spend a Wednesday evening.
Such a treat! It was full house yesterday evening at MIC Limerick for the “Irish of Brittany” show by amazing Breton artists Veronique Bourjot, Brewen Favrau, Soazig Hamelin and Kevin Le Pennec, preceded by a fascinating introductory talk on Irish migration to Brittany by Dr Éamon Ó Ciosáin. 1/1

@liamhogan.bsky.social Found I've been citing you a lot lately 😁 Mentioned your food riots work in the last episode of the podcast and your Halloween research during a talk in the Milk Market on Sunday. Looking to see if third time is a charm 😁

So, in the last decade I've only cried once and that was when my brother died, but this month I cried at the table reading for 'Connie' and when we won the EuroPride 2028 bid. How can I keep up this cool calm exterior with all this emotional crap happening!

I do wonder if the bar of perfection we expect these days may be a bit much.
We know so much more about every facet of a candidates political stances, personal lives, previous jobs, etc. I think it'd be rare to find someone more than a 75% match with your personal values.
Just go with the closest.

I was on The Lyric Feature telling the story of Connie Smith www.rte.ie/culture/2025...
Connie Gets a Rewrite – The Lyric Feature on a forgotten star
Constance "Connie" Smith was born in 1929 on Limerick's Wolfe Tone Street and would later become a star who burned brightly, but all too briefly, during the golden age of Hollywood cinema.
