If anyone isn’t using ONE ticket for tonight’s #CultureNight dress rehearsal of ‘Grania’ I would love it for my mam. I’m volunteering in Temple Bar and mam is coming in on her own to wander about. She absolutely loves the theatre and we only came across this event. 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

@liamgallagher Regular folks in Ireland coming across lots of issues trying to buy their 2 standing tickets. Many of us don’t have €800+ to fork out for a gig. What’s the story? Read a few comments of this thread if ya want…. https://t.co/gFAZcuJtVY

@gavreilly Apparently someone has taken out a monopoly suit against them in the US. The only way to affect a change is for a sizeable group of ppl to boycott this system and refuse to buy tickets, imo

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.

When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.

I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.

Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.

How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.

After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.

So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!

He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.

It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.

If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡

@johncreedon enjoying the Morrissey/Marr tunes John. First of the Gang reminds me of the excellent performance he gave in 25 Live. Saw it in the @IFI_Dub some years back - a cracker! 🙏🏽🎶☺️

40 is young.

Life is longer than you think.

The idea that “it’s all downhill” after our 20s is one of the greatest (and most believed) lies of our culture.

Reject age dysfunction.

LIVE, til you die.

[Claire Conway @Iclaireo]

@johncreedon Ah wonderful, will listen back John. Was puttin the kids to bed! 🌟🇺🇸

@johncreedon i've been thinking about JFK today on the 60th anniversary of his death. I wonder what the world would have seen had this peacemaker lived to an old age. Could we have a tune for peace in his name, if you have time?

[National Archives, Ireland @NARIreland]

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of US President #JohnFKennedy and over the coming days, we'll be featuring some records that we hold relating to his death and funeral which was broadcast around the world. @JFKLibrary @USEmbassyDublin @DeptCultureIRL #JFK60
