ROADMAP GAEILGE GHOST Garnering stunning reviews,
the first-ever Irish language horror film, An Taibhse, is a chilling journey into the hardships of postfamine Ireland. The film follows Éamon (Tom Kerrisk) and his daughter Máire (Livvy Hill) as they take on the task of maintaining a remote mansion, only to be confronted by horrors that push them to the edge of sanity. Directed by John Farrelly, the film authentically immerses viewers in a time when the Irish language was widely spoken. It has received critical acclaim, winning prestigious awards such as Best Emerging Talent (EIFF, Ireland) and Best Cinematography (FanFixion, Chile), with The Hollywood News hailing it as “one of the best horror films in recent years.” A must-watch for horror fans and cinephiles alike. In cinemas now.

Each episode features interviews with fans, musicians, and industry insiders, exploring pivotal concerts that shaped Irish music history. The first episode, which debuted March 10th, covers Bob Marley’s unforgettable performance at Dalymount Park. Future episodes include Nirvana’s 1991 gig at Sir Henry’s and Dolores O’Riordan’s transformative first gig with The Cranberries. I Was There is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms. 6 LOVE TEMPO FIRE Love and hugs to the Love Tempo crew as they face a long closure after the recent fire. Thankfully no one was hurt as the Dublin Fire Brigade and the bar staff acted quickly to prevent a total disaster but their absence will be sorely missed.
