I had some difficulty last night explaining to a friend why I had an unopened tin of peas on my mantle piece inside a mini-saucepan. The blame rests with @fgb.bsky.social 🫵🏻

We've created a BandCamp page and added a new song called, "Fascist Clowns, Fuck Off."
A lot of anger and rage went into this song and we hope you enjoy it! (But we hate that it had to be written!!)

1998, the bi-centenary of the Irish Rebellion. My friends & colleagues at Centre Stage Theatre Co staged Jack Loudan's great 3-act play to mark the occasion. Later reprised for the opening of the Old Courthouse, Antrim - the scene of Henry Joy McCracken's supposed crimes.
