I think the author is contrasting Irish language phrases from "Off-shore island communities" with English language phrases used on the (Irish) mainland

This is hilarious - everything you need to know, and some stuff you'll wish you didn't.

yes! That is a big part of the magic of this bar. A strong contingent of local folkies mixed with international visitors, many of whom contribute a song or two

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

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.

Am I right to read that as "you're not surprised KC is an arsehole politically"?

I was quite taken back / disappointed when I read the article, but I guess I'll get over it.

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

“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.”

Our spectacular view from our chosen wedding location. A beach on the Scottish island of Gigha looking towards Jura with a couple of boats anchored in the bay.

I'm getting married today!

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

We've chosen a wonderful spot.

A #Gigha beach looking towards #Jura. ❤️

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

"The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power."
