Partially inspired by a story on This American Life where they documented 24 hours in a Chicago diner called the Golden Apple, the idea was to literally hang out in them and just wait and see who dropped by.

It’s derived instead from a deeper resonance about what it is that “home” could or should feel like, and it’s a wonderful piece of writing, that is illustrated excellently by Cecilia Rangel’s photography.

Love Yourself Today, transformed this lax feeling. The intensity of the connection between him and his fans supersedes the normal live gig experience. As David Balfe says, “I was struck by how people seem to have these spiritual moments at your shows… Everybody is going to that, whether it is a religious experience or a music one, they are going to that carrying their own baggage, their own trauma and looking for a way to exorcise that.” Chatting to Ross, he also reminded me that as one gets older, they invariably carry more of the weight of life. Both Dempsey and Balfe are sonic healers in the truest sense, encouraging us to emote, embrace and let ourselves go. There are fewer more compelling reasons to be stoked about We watched the release of For Those I Love’s sensational debut album from the print sidelines. Our publication was suspended in the Spring owing to lockdown. Having first become acquainted with Balfe’s heartfelt and heart-breaking eulogy to his friend and his community through Nialler9’s early endorsement, we observed it through seminal TV performances on Jools Holland and Other Voices as well as through the lyric messaging of outdoor advertising in the city. It felt like the moment may have passed to do something with David Balfe given the scale, and warmth, of exposure he has duly received to date. And if we’re being honest, we’ve never been to a Damien Dempsey concert. It was obvious he is a man who has a serious fanbase, and ‘sold out’ signs often accompany most of the posters we’ve seen. We’d seen the occasional interview and knew the endearing heart and soul with which he conveyed his message and emotions. But we left it that. Kind of thinking his music was for others. But watching Ross Killeen’s debut feature doc on Damien, xcts orvigin One of the true civic-minded delights in the city in recent times has been the development of our libraries. As someone who occasionally nips into Kevin Street to pick up copies for a book club (recent read and highly recommended is Kazou Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun), I am always heart-warmed to see its multi-purpose use and wonderful refurbishment. Elsewhere, it seems we are getting our act together in terms of a value being placed on a public institution which can be enjoyed by everyone throughout the year. Of course, as a UNESCO city of literature we have reason to be embarrassed by not having a city centre public library fit for 21st century purpose. A few figures to consider in this regard: Bank of Ireland is set to spend €36m revamping their College Green location. The government exited its stake in the bank this September. Surely, a massive missed opportunity from a €4.7 billion bail-out was not to negotiate the return of the first purpose built Parliament House in the world?

Again the power lies in the hands of the Council to see if a balance can be struck or will they just allow developers to throw a Starbucks in? And the forthcoming closure of District 8 which features Watching the charming documentary Young Plato (see Cinema) which is released later this month, a class of primary school boys in Ardoyne, in Belfast, are asked about the peace walls and their understanding of Catholics and Protestants. An astute young fella, despairing of division and conflict, denounces the stupidity of it all by simply saying, “We all bleed the same colour.” Those words rang true when thinking about the unfolding humanitarian crisis and utter destruction being wreaked upon innocent civilians in Ukraine, by the actions of a ruthless despot wielding unfettered power since the start of this century. It has shrouded what should have been a joyful post-pandemic time of freedom for many with a profound sadness. It is beyond heart-breaking to witness the the senseless brutality of it all and we encourage you to make a donation to a reputable charity and try support a sovereign nation whose democratic rights are being crushed on our continent. Everything else pales this month. But we are still immensely I remember a Berlin pal telling me moons ago how they really preferred heading to Berghain around 7am on a Sunday morning. My mind was frazzled. This wasn’t necessarily a head there from somewhere else thing but rather a conscious decision to start their day clubbing with a new wave of arrivals. Plus it seemed to be an optimum time to avoid the legendary queues to get in. It was almost like clubbers coming off the subs bench as others flagged and the stamina of the first 1500 diminished. Last month, Dublin finally embraced modernity when it comes to our approach to clubbing and our night-time economy. The proposal to allow the few remaining club spaces we have to operate until 6am is a game-changer, in many respects. It treats adults as, erm, adults and allows them make choices about their night out rather wedging a pile-on experience into a few hours. We addressed this issue at our Night Moves event on Culture Night and in the mag last month.

Of course, if everything had gone to plan, we would have been celebrating the 200th edition back in May 2021. We all know what happened there though as we invoke the ‘circumstances beyond our control’ clause, with good reason. Predicting the future gives hope, can be fun, but somewhat foolhardy also. However, if back in January 2013, when we celebrated our 100th issue someone said Totally Dublin would still be around in print nine years later, chances are you would have smiled politely and sidestepped to the bar with your complimentary token.

In this issue we’re mixing past, present and future – gleaning insights from past editors and contributors who brought us to this moment from its inception in October 2004 whilst also delving into thoughts on the city from some of the people who keep it fizzing. And we have the buzz du jour, CMAT, gracing our cover as we discover more about her and the forces which surround her. again, I wish to thank the tremendous team behind the magazine who bring insight, vibrancy and originality in abundance. We marked our 200th issue this year and are staying the course, against many odds. To our stockists, advertisers and you our readers, we remain ever so grateful for your support. We are dragging ourselves over the line of what has been a truly remarkable year, mostly for all the wrong reasons. 2020 has been an absolute headmelter. It feels apt, then, to have Niall Staines capture this sense of going through the wringer with our cover commission. His glitch style drags normality beyond recognition but still anchors it. Time has blurred and rumpled, we’ve all felt glitched but there’s still hope and the ones we love and those who love us. Festival Frenzy The Fringe, DEAF and Theatre Festivals Clubbing Toni Walsh – 25 years of Dublin Clubbing Listings Rapidly closing in on our 150th issue, Totally Dublin has also chewed its way through four or five various editors at this stage, with me being the very first of them.
