I host an acoustic music session in Captain's Bar in Edinburgh from time to time. Here's a wee clip from last month's session. This weekend I'll be hosting the Saturday afternoon session from 3.30pm - 7.30pm. #livemusic #Edinburgh #captainsbar

Surely Paudie's last contribution at the round table - specifically telling the women to watch out - combined with the absolute cringe celebrations will mean the suspicion is right on Nick and Ben now? #TraitorsIRL

It's Connolly's bday tmrw - I'm looking forward to singing my "Footsteps of James Connolly" song at his birthplace in Edinburgh at the commemoration

Jim Slaven has cooked up some food for thought ahead of the celebration.

BlueSky, if you ban Palestinian IP addresses from posting content, you are helping to conceal evidence of war crimes and genocide.

You are crossing a line to being co-conspirators.

There’s dark humour, and then there’s Northern Irish humour.

I can't boycott #Eurovision as I'm one of the weirdos who doesn't watch it anyway. I've never known what to make of this unsettling and dark take on Dana's entry in the early 70s. Who wrote it? Why? Who thought it a good idea to get kids to do it? Where's the rest of it?

“It’s solely about de-platforming artists & telling the next young band… through the music industry & the political class, that you cannot speak about Palestine….Children are starving to death, 6-7 days speaking about #Kneecap – we spent less than 1 speaking about 15 executed medics.”

#spéirghorm
“ What really scared the State of Israel and led to this campaign is the reaction of young people in America, young people who aren’t willing to support a genocide, and have empathy and sympathy towards the Palestinian people.” Israel has been accused of genocide in a case brought to the International Court of Justice by South Africa. The ICJ issued provisional measures against Israel after finding there are reasonable grounds to believe Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, where over 52,000 people have been killed since October 2023. Lambert also claimed that this is now entering the “space of moral hysteria and outrage”. “You have a band being held to a higher moral account than politicians who are ignoring international law.

One of the perks of living in Scotland - your wedding venue can be anywhere you like.

We've chosen a wonderful spot.

Incredible pile-on on @kneecapceol.bsky.social by those in power to smear them and neutralise their voice against Israeli genocide.
