KENDRICK IS HERE
Last night’s secret @delorentos gig at the Salty Dog stage was really really cool - the buzz at the smaller stages is always a highlight.... apart from the crazy stage diver dude...
And off we went into the night....
@bitchfalcon being absolutely huge on the body & soul last night!
Really great atmosphere at #ep2018 today... warm and sunny... lots to explore...
One of the finds of the weekend- @StateLights on the Salty Dog! Great performance!
New Irish band @InhalerDublin are really promising, great voice, great band, & some great Melodies, over at the @OtherVoicesLive stage!
Backstage with the excellent @thisissigrid & @MayKapes !
Mobile-phoneageddon for Sigrid’s special gig, just voice & Piano - amazing.
Mister @MIKPYRO bringing the classic Republic of Loose songs back to @EPfestival - featuring the legendary @MaxGreenwood on keys!!
Another Irish act @Ham_Sandwich bringing the tunes to the Arena!!

It’s proper hot now, thank god for tents. :)
Chatting with Peter @DevSounds Devlin for his brilliant Saturday Soundtrack show on @RadioNova100 - alternative music doesn’t have enough space on Irish radio - his show is a gem.
He’s also very tall. 😀
Phone dying - upcoming alternative @ep2018 highlights include @DavidKeenanmuso @wecutcorners @PillowQueeens @mavisstaples @weareleboom @whenyoungband @ccbrezmusic @kojaque @squarepegsmusic @legalaxie @JafarisMusic GO SEE!!!!!! Arrrgghh
The @wecutcorners boys are so exceptionally brilliant- national treasures that should be encased in Amber in a Indie rock museum. Here they are...
One of the coolest little areas is the Trailer Park- it’s like a film set. The best thing about the Picnic is the areas with their own personalities like @OtherVoicesLive, Salty Dog, Trailer Park, & Body & Soul, run by cool people who’ve done it year after year, keeping it cosy.
THE FRANKS! #Ep2018
Ok - phone off now - hope you’ve got a flavour of the Picnic 😎👍🏽

Getting ready to head to Carlow to meet @FocusIreland colleagues from around the country. These meetings are useful in a number of ways. One of the most important for me is seeing the issues that are arising around the country...
so that we can work with officials in @HousingPress or Local authorities to address administrative issues that arise...This got me to thinking about what are the tools, resources etc that drive advocacy in @FocusIreland. Excellent research for sure....
Collaboration with colleagues across the NGO sector and academics definitely...the day to day work of our frontline service is critical...but for the policy wonk across all sectors its hard to imagine that any work would be possible without....

Of course costs will exceed the budget if we don’t have a realistic budget. Our population is growing, our needs are changing and we are maintaining a relatively inefficient and expensive system - at literally any cost (1/6)
Households are increasingly filling the budget gap, too. They are paying out of pocket for services and private insurance costs have been on the rise over the past few years. The costs are crippling many people (2/6)
There’s also difficulties accessing vital services such as home care and mental health care. People are concerned they are paying a high price for a system that can’t meet their needs in a timely way (3/6)

One of the other things I’m lucky enough to do is play music on the radio. 😀 I have an alternative show called “The Nova Guestlist” on @radionova100 on a Sunday night from 8pm, & I tweak away at the over the week, making notes & adding songs & ideas - I absolutely love it!
So basically, the show’s about alternative & live music, so I play music that I think Nova listeners would love, stuff that I love, & stuff I HOPE that listeners will. There’s a bit of second guessing that goes with that, but generally, people are receptive if you’re passionate.
So, I set up my playlist, add in songs from home if there’s any, then fiddle round with a run order (overthinking usually) & tinker til I’m happy. I choose 3 gigs of the week in Dublin- this week it’s @ilovelucius, @sopharela (Soccer Mommy, cannot wait) & a dude called @hozier!

(Let me get this out there first: We’ll be playing the Electric Arena stage at 7.15pm today. It will be the greatest show of all our lives. 😎 we’d love to see you there x)
This is Brian & Adrian- driver/tech & tour manager/ soundman. As well as being sounders, Brian is stunningly good Songwriter & Adrian is one of the best mix engineers in the country!

One of the cultural things I love most are Podcasts- I pretty much alternate between Podcasts & Music in my ears every free minute. I'm always up for a recommendation- so I'll throw out a few I love & I'd love to hear what you're into!
First of all, @SecondCaptains, those guys are like FAMILY to me man. I sat on a long car trip recently playing their podcasts to a dude who may have been politely humoring me while I looked at him for reaction. Anyway, Great Irish Sport insights- check it:

Super surreal & articulate Mr Blindboy of @Rubberbandits does some excellent themed podcasts that can seem whimsical but often make you think... def worth a listen..

So as I mentioned on Monday, I was adopted as a baby. It’s been a weird & wonderful part of my life & part of me, so I thought I’d share a bit about the experience. I’ll be making no political statements or judgments, just my story. Feel free to ask me anything. 😀
I was born in Bessborough Mother & Baby home in Cork in the early 80’s, run by the sisters of the sacred hearts of Jesus & Mary. My birth mother had “got into trouble” & had gone in pregnant, & left alone. Baby me stayed with the Nuns, & the Catholic Protection & Rescue society.
I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it was for her to have to leave me there & go home, I think about it sometimes with my own kids. I’ve no idea who looked after me. I wonder who came when I cried?
