@StevieGrainger @WAeonghus Not often (nor indeed likely) that we get a chance to beat Cork's finest twice in five days so it made tonight more special.
Although our soccer team could do with C Lynch or A Gillane changing codes :-)

[Shane @cheebah]

@StevieGrainger @WAeonghus In fairness, the rain that fell at 6.30 here was insane. There was literally a river flowing down the road within minutes.
If one player had a season-ending injury as a result no one would be pleased.
But I was disappointed as I was looking forward to it.

[Shane @cheebah]

Really good piece to herald return of home matches.
The clips of Mechanics Institute (home of Trades Council) and the Dockers Monument worth noting. Apt as the home ground plays an important part in Limerick's labour history.
Blue (collar) city.

@conorsmurf @simonlewis Good choice, I have that collection from Simon, so will seek out that poem. An interesting contextual companion, perhaps, is Louis Lentin's film where he visits the Kovno Gubernia province, where majority of Cork and Limerick Jewish communities fled from. https://t.co/CWpl6RMukn

New release 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This print was made as a small act of love for a city that’s always been better together. Don't rise to the far right noise. If you believe the 061 is home to everyone, old faces, new faces, all backgrounds and ethnicities share this and spread the grá 💚

Considering Baptiste's year living in Limerick, this is great addition to the city's black history & insight into 18th century Ireland. Real evocative moment is hearing EileenAroon sung in style Rachel would have sung it, in Peters Cell over 250 years ago https://t.co/uh8YBElgpE

My documentary ‘Black Syren’ is on @RTElyricfm 6pm this eve.

This project has been more than work for me. It’s an important piece of untold Irish history that I can’t wait to share.

Limerick was beautiful today! We @ipsc48 were loud and proud for Palestine. We held our ground and our space in the face of the far right. We showed our unbreakable solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers. This city will give no quarter to racism. #FreePalestine

[Shane @cheebah]

@activedan @TreatyUnitedFC Indeed and always worth remembering that the Markets Field has a special place in both Limerick's radical and Labour History.

[Shane @cheebah]

First ever public reading of Pure Winter was a major highlight of very memorable night with Kevin Barry, Aoife &Steve
Being in a packed basement in Catherine St. we were already in main character Joe's backyard, making the resonance more profound.
Re-read

Pure Winter, a pure Limerick short story by Kevin Barry in todays @IrishTimes Fab illustration of Cecil Street by @chrisjudge

[Shane @cheebah]

Great news.
Hopefully it won't be long before he is emulating Limerick's other star Boevi and gracing the pitch at Dalymount.

Kevin's championing of Limerick scene in particular hip hop has always been loud. Spotlighting Citrus in The Guardian this year was huge but support goes way back.
Now on the same stage where some of the scene's best moments of last few years have played out.
Apt.
Pure Limerick.

[Shane @cheebah]

While his international book tours tread the familiar path of bookshops & art spaces, 'tis notable that for last decade, I think all of Kevin Barry's hometown appearances have been in music related spaces/events.
Good to see that continue. Will be special

The Stinging Fly continues to play a vital role in discovering & championing new writers.
So "Friends of the Fly" very worthy of support.

Parochially, Limerick-based writer Paula Dias Garcia @PressSans has memorable short story set in Cratloe Woods, in latest issue. Seek out.

[The Stinging Fly @stingingfly]

The end of the year, and the start of something new.

Did you know we are a new charity?

Our new Winter 2024-25 issue is now out in the world, along with our new page to celebrate the Friends of The Fly. As a new charity, our Friends support our work and ambition to remain at the heart of literary life in Ireland.

This Christmas, don't be a stranger, become a Friend of The Fly.

Comment: For more than a century now, we've been told there's no other way to run this country – that Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael were the only "realistic" choices.

Another Ireland is possible.

A left government is the first step toward achieving it.

@bbboatclub Excellent
Reminded of a time, pre internet when a 5-10 minute PA in a club could still generate serious hype for months afterwards.
Like a hot July night in London 1990, deep in Camden. Busy Thursday club winding down when En Vogue came & conquered

@MatanaRoberts @seanlclancy Hope it goes really well. Is there any other Irish dates? Only seeing this now and unfortunately I am on other side of country....

[Shane @cheebah]

@Ryan_O_R Agree completely. New stories to be told on the banks of the Allaughan.
However, your mention of 20 years reminded me of this.
1997, when hundreds of gold hunters descended on Tour and the Evening Echo (then publishing a daily Limerick edition) send out a reporter to cover it.

[Shane @cheebah]

@DrMartinJPower @TreatyUnitedFC @CorkCityFC Good atmosphere.
Unfortunately, probably the last time for a few seasons.
I will miss the sweet sounds of
"Call yourselves rebels
You welcomed the Queen" resounding out and around Garryowen. :-)
