It was on this day in 1742, in Dublin , that George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time.
It happened at the New Music Hall in Fishamble Street. The performance was a fundraising event for charities and prisoners, with tickets costing a half-guinea each.

How is this possible? Who cares if there's "lack of public support". A completely unique 6000 year old site that provides evidence of early farming technology, right now when the climate is collapsing? How is that not interesting? Protect the fucker www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...
Céide Fields ditched as possible World Heritage Site ‘due to lack of public support’
