I headed to the Circus Gerbola today in Naas to take some pretty pictures.

It was probably the most difficult shoot I've ever had.

Everything moves so quickly, lights change so fast...

It was great fun though, support the circus!

I headed down to Dunamaise Arts Centre tonight to see the Climate Change Cabaret.

I hadn't intended to shoot the show, but I stopped off on the way and picked up my camera. I'm glad I did. It was a great mix of cabaret, burlesque, and science!

These are just a few quick edits before bed.

Friday night, in the intimate surrounds of the Dew Drop in Kill, Co. Kildare, I got to see the legendary Luka Bloom perform as part of Féile Liam O'Flynn.

It was every bit as good as you'd think it was!

Another great night in Whelan's, Dublin, with the fantastic Gemma Hayes headlining the mainstage.

Gemma's currently on an Irish tour, you'd be mad to miss it.

I was in Whelan's in Dublin last night, I'd not been there in a while, so it was great to be back.

This is Roesy performing on the mainstage. I'd heard of him before, seen the name around, but it was my first time catching him live. Rather enjoyable set!

So Trump, a man convicted of 34 felonies, a man found liable in the civil courts of sexual assault, a man with 6 bankrupted companies, and let's not forget about the $25million Trump University payout, thinks Sadiq Khan is Nasty??? Jaysus...

I headed along to Scotsman's Bay in Dun Laoghaire earlier today for Mothers Against Genocide's Fly a Kite for Gaza fundraiser.

It is though, incredibly fucked up that fundraising events like this have to take place.

It doesn't take a lot to save a life. Unfortunately, the Israeli Govt. don't care.

I stayed local tonight, I headed down to Facchinos in Naas to see the fantastic Dubh Lee perform.

It's a nice little venue. It's well protected, so none of the town noise can be heard. The old walls, covered in ivy, make for a great backdrop! Oh, and the food looks great, too!

It's not often you get the chance to sit in an intimate Secret Garden and have the incredible Lisa Hannigan perform to you.

Tonight though, at Hibernacle Music Festival, it happened and it was all kinds of wonderful.

I'm not sure what to say about Emmet O'Brien, because however I describe him, it wouldn't do justice...

Anyway, he's brilliant and he did a brilliant set in the Secret Garden at Hibernacle Music Festival tonight.

I think this is my first time seeing Jape live. My memory is not quite what it used to be, but I think I'm right.

Anyway, now that's out of the way, WOW!

That's him playing the main stage tonight at Hibernacle Music Festival.

I first met Grainne Hunt at Groove Festival 11 or 12 years ago. I've been a fan ever since.
