*Introduction*
Hello BlueSky. I left the other place over a year ago, and floundered in Mastodon, so here I am. I'm an Irish musician and Arts & Health practitioner. I enjoy posts about music & culture, nature & animals (especially dogs) and current affairs...at least I used to! t.co/9kQK1dt7wt

I was once offered the chance to go back stage at a Eurythmics concert to meet Annie Lennox. I didn't do it. The end.

Was anyone else at Martha Wainwright in The Button Factory last night? It was absolutely incredible! Her voice is exceptional and she had a fantastic band bringing her songs to life. One of the best nights of music I've experienced in a long time.

I'm in the market for an #ElectricPicnic ticket. Chappell Roan just confirmed as a headliner & my daughter nearly took the front door off the hinges on the way in from school. There was hyperventilating and tears! Keep us in mind if you hear of a ticket for sale. 😬

This is incredible news. This #cancer is so silent & deadly it leaves not just devastation, but psychological whiplash in its wake. My poor dad got just 30 days from diagnosis to death. We had barely processed the news that he was sick, and he was gone.
