The pirate radio era may be over as such, but the spirit of such endeavors remain & young people will always seek an important alternative to the mainstream.

Stevie G: Spirit of pirate radio still strong
As long as we have a mainstream, we will need an underground, and the spirit that powered the pirates will continue in other ways, writes Stevie G.

PinkPantheress really just nailed her vibe practically from the off & ran with it. Great music for the age that we are in and one of the best users of social media too 💫

Had to drive to and from to Longford the other day (longford story) but the journey was made better by revisiting Sly & the Family Stone’s whole album discography in chronological order. The post “Riot” albums are so underrated the whole catalogue is so full of absolute gems 💫

Gracias, Sly 🙏🏼
For all those tracks that still light it up
For bringing people of different races, styles & eras together
For innovating with drum machines & paving the way 4 hip-hop & dance
For being one of the coolest to ever do it
And for letting us all
Be ourselves ❤️

My @thisisthenewschool series in @corkcitylibraries has come to end for the summer but I’d like to thank Margaret, Ben & the team for hosting us every month. We are back on September 27th. As always, music is a two way street and I am learning from the youngsters too.

Sad to learn of the passing of Siobhan O’Dowd, a great contributor to Cork who was unbelievably active in the community for decades & always full of good humour and encouragement too. Here she is taking over my decks at the Rainbow Picnic a few summers ago 🏳️🌈
