Disco queen Róisín Murphy chats to Oliver about her life and her music career.

James Moore grew up in Arklow, County Wicklow and was in a boxing gym from 6 years of age. His amateur career was in his own words a “late developer” in fact he never won an Irish title at schoolboy, youth or junior level in the early days. It wasn't long until he would start to have great success beginning with an Irish Intermediate title in 1997. The goal was always to win that National Elite title, but standing in his way was the seasoned, Neil Gough. After coming up short in semi-finals and finals to the Waterford man, he would eventually claim that senior title in 2001 beating Gough in the final. James would soon add a Four Nations gold medal before representing Ireland at the 2001 World Senior championships in Belfast.Those championships would prove to be the greatest week of James' amateur career. He would go on to claim the only bronze medal from a strong Irish team. James talks about what he had to overcome having 5 fights in 6 days to win his medal. He also talks about sparring stories with Carl Frochin the training camp and nights out with David Haye. After this success at these championships, he would find the next year or so a struggle with injuries, constant training camps and the tragedy of losing 3 of his best friends in a caraccident. James would still continue to have success in 2002-2003 winning 2 more Irish Elite titles and multiple Four Nation gold medals, but when an Olympic place wasn't secured in 2004, he knew that professional boxing was thenext step in his career.James would move to New York and train in the famous Gleason's Gym and quickly build up an undefeated record over the next 3 years. He would add a New York State title and top the bill at Madison Square Garden, Theatre. He would build a 15-0 undefeated record before losing a dubious decision to Gabriel Rosado in 2008. He would go on to win 2 more fights before losing a points decision to future World Champion, Yuri Foreman for the NABF title and Pawel Wolak in his final fight at Yankee Stadium. Since retirement, James has become a part owner in a successful bar in Queens, NY and is happy and content in the States with his wife and 3 kids. He is a humble man who very rarely talks about his boxing story, so I am really excited to release this to you all.

Highfield Solar has secured project financing to fund the construction and operation of two additional Solar PV projects with a total capacity of 132 MWp. This milestone follows the financing of four other projects in Ireland, totalling 473 MWp. Since July 2021, Highfield Solar has secured over €400 million in cumulative debt funding for more than 600 MWp of solar projects in Ireland. Highfield Solar Limited, a joint venture between renewable energy developers ib vogt, Highfield Energy, and Aura Power, together with Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., have successfully reached financial close for the 70 MWp Clonin North and 62 MWp North Arklow solar PV plants. Highfield Solar and Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. have successfully continued their collaboration with this financing, having previously financed a portfolio of 473 MWp across four solar projects: Rathnaskilloge (106 MWp) and Gaskinstown (93 MWp) in December 2023, and Rosspile (138 MWp) and Gillinstown (136 MWp) in July 2021. Both the Clonin North and North Arklow projects were successful in the Government of Ireland's second competitive Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS 2) auction run by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in 2022. The RESS auctions are designed to promote investment in renewable energy, supporting Ireland's goal of achieving 80% renewable electricity by 2030. Highfield Solar is proud to be contributing to this critical target on Ireland's path to decarbonisation. As part of the RESS scheme, local communities, clubs, and societies will benefit from approximately €100,000 in annual funding for the next 15 years. Matheson LLP supported Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. through the transaction, and technical advice was provided by Krug & Schram. Further advice was also provided by Howden Group. Highfield was again supported by Mason Hayes and Curran LLP, Augustus Cullen Law and Crotty Group. "We are delighted Highfield Solar has reached this significant milestone and we are now looking forward to the continued roll-out of our portfolio. This is the result of years of planning and investment in these projects. We have enjoyed a very positive relationship with our partners in Highfield Solar, ib vogt, and Aura Power, and their experience and knowledge allied with our own has been invaluable. As a company founded in Ireland, we are hugely proud of our role in continuing to attract such significant investment into the country for renewable electricity generation projects. It is also very important to us that the establishment of the associated community benefit funds will make significant contributions to the locality over the next decade and beyond", says Peter Kavanagh, Managing Director of Highfield Energy. "The Clonin North and North Arklow projects mark an exciting new chapter in our successful joint venture, helping to build some of the largest solar plants in Ireland," said Anton Milner, CEO of ib vogt. "We are deeply grateful to our financing partners for their vital role in advancing clean, renewable energy across the country. These projects not only deliver significant ecological and economic benefits but also contribute to long-term, meaningful change for the local communities. With the support of the RESS scheme, we are optimistic about the future of solar energy in Ireland and the lasting positive impact it will bring." "The Irish solar market is now one of the most exciting in Europe and the scale of these projects is a testament to that. We look forward to seeing these projects reach energisation, along with many more in our development pipeline." says Simon Coulson, Director at Aura Power. Project Details With a total capacity of 70 MWp, the Clonin North solar PV plant will be located on a ca. 70-hectare site near the village of Rhode, County Offaly. The North Arklow site, with a capacity of 62MWp, will be located near the town of Arklow in County Wicklow. The projects will utilize high-capacity bifacial modules on fixed-til...

Echelon Data Centres says that a landmark decision to provide a grid connection for the company's DUB20 data centre campus in Co Wicklow will ensure investment of €3.5bn and 1,300 jobs. A spokesperson for Echelon described the decision as an important endorsement of responsible data centre development in Ireland and a major milestone for the company. Echelon will create 1,100 jobs during construction of the facilities in Arklow, and 200 permanent positions once the data centre is operational. DUB20 is the first large-scale data centre to meet the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities' (CRU) 2021 criteria for data centre connections. Onsite energy centres at the facility will have the capacity to provide security of supply services to EirGrid, Ireland's Transmission System Operator (TSO) when renewable generation output drops below grid demand. The grid connection will allow Echelon to begin work on a 220kV substation at the site that will allow access to the grid for renewable energy generated off the coast of Wicklow in the future. Echelon is also investing in solar, battery energy storage systems, and renewable fuels to replace fossil fuel consumed by the data centre. Echelon Head of Energy Systems Cormac Nevin said: "DUB20 is a model for the future - and EirGrid's decision to provide a grid connection for the facility will ensure investment of €3.5bn in data centre and energy infrastructure in Co Wicklow. It is an endorsement of sustainable data centre development as it follows a pathway to net zero emissions and demonstrates the role of Government policy in achieving that. It is also a strong statement that Ireland takes its climate responsibilities seriously but is open for business to the data centre sector and the jobs and inward investment that comes with it." Earlier this year, Echelon announced that Starwood Capital Group had invested approximately €850m to become a 50% shareholder in the company and provide material capital for its continued growth. The transaction also included a new €900m debt facility provided by Morgan Stanley and United Overseas Bank. Echelon now intends to proceed to the construction phase at DUB20. Cormac Nevin added: "This project will ensure investment of €3.5bn and create 1,300 jobs. It will support the development of renewable energy resources, it will provide support for the national grid to ensure security of supply, and it will help Ireland transition to a low-carbon economy. DUB20 will demonstrate what is possible when we co-locate critical infrastructure like data centres and renewable energy resources. Everyone at Echelon is now looking forward to building Ireland's greenest large-scale data centre." Wicklow-based Senator Pat Casey said: "This landmark decision from EirGrid is great news for Wicklow's emerging digital economy. Echelon will now be able to rejuvenate the IFI site in Arklow with a multi-billion-euro investment that will create sustainable jobs and build a world-class data centre and digital technology campus in Arklow that will be powered by sustainable energy."

Den meisten Menschen dürfte die Redewendung: „Geben ist seliger denn Nehmen“, deren Herkunft auf die Bibel zurück geht, geläufig sein und ebenso die Bedeutung dieses Satzes. Letztlich ist es nichts anderes als die Aufforderung zur Großzügigkeit, die den positiven Nebeneffekt haben kann, jemand anderem eine Freude zu machen, an der man sich im besten Fall noch selbst erfreuen kann. Es begab sich, dass ich kürzlich von einer Freundin einen Gutschein für die örtliche Buchhandlung bekam, der ihr selbst wenig nützlich war, da sie ausschließlich Hörbücher hört. Die Freude meinerseits war natürlich groß, denn was gibt es schon Besseres als kostenlose Bücher? Weit oben auf meiner Wunschliste stand die kürzlich auf Deutsch erschienene, neue Erzählung der irischen Autorin Claire Keegan Reichlich spät, die im Steidl Verlag veröffentlicht wurde und gerade einmal 55 Seiten umfasst. Don't judge a book by it's cover, so sagt man, aber schon die Aufmachung der schmalen, als Hardcover gebundenen Ausgabe zog mich magisch an und der Gutschein fand seine Bestimmung.In ihrer neuesten Erzählung beschreibt uns Claire Keegan einen Ausschnitt aus dem Leben ihres Protagonisten Cathal, der Büroangestellter in Dublin ist und in der Nähe, einer kleinen Stadt namens Arklow, lebt. Der Tag, um den sich die Handlung dreht, sollte der Hochzeitstag von Cathal und seiner Verlobten Sabine sein, die sich auf einer Tagung kennengelernt hatten. Warum es zu dieser Hochzeit aber nicht kommt, wird anhand von Cathals Erinnerungen rekonstruiert und legt letztlich viel mehr frei, als das bloße Scheitern einer Beziehung.Etwas mehr als zwei Jahre ist es her, dass Sabine und Cathal sich in Toulouse kennengelernt hatten und er sie – es hatte sich herausgestellt, dass sie ebenfalls in Dublin arbeitet – zu sich eingeladen hat. Sie verbringt schließlich den Großteil der Wochenenden bei ihm, liebt das Leben auf dem Land, kocht gern und es schwingt in allem ihrem Tun eine Leichtigkeit mit. Die Entscheidung zu heiraten gleicht dann aber eher einem Beschluss oder einer Verhandlung darüber, ob man es tun sollte oder nicht und ist weit entfernt von einem Antrag oder hat gar etwas mit Romantik zu tun. Es kommt beim Lesen auch nicht das Gefühl auf, dass Liebe eine große Rolle in dieser Entscheidung spielt.Grund dafür ist, dass Cathal ein kleingeistiger, geiziger und frauenverachtender Spießer ist, der zwar das Bild von Mann und Frau und einer heilen Welt mit Haus und Hof und am besten noch Kind und Katze gern sieht, aber letztlich doch einfach gern seine Ruhe hätte. Der es hasst, sich um den Abwasch zu kümmern, das ihm gekochte Essen aber gern entgegennimmt. Der zwar gern hätte, dass seine Verlobte bei ihm einzieht, dem aber am liebsten wäre, wenn sie nicht so viel „Zeug“ aus ihrer alten Wohnung mitbringen würde, denn das bedeutet ja, dass sich in seinem eigenen kleinen Kosmos etwas verändert, ja verändern muss. Dass sie im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Raum für sich beansprucht. Ihm wäre am liebsten, sie wäre einfach nur da und ansonsten bliebe alles wie gehabt. Er ist jemand, der sich noch nach Wochen über den zu hohen Preis von Kirschen echauffiert und der Frauen als Fotzen, Huren und Schlampen bezeichnet, weil man als irischer Mann eben so redet.Es drängt sich mir unweigerlich die Frage auf, was das, salopp gesagt, eigentlich alles soll? Ein so gewaltiges Problem wie Misogynie werde ich in meiner heutigen Rezension sicher nicht lösen, also bleibe ich an dieser Stelle beim Protagonisten, dem ja in der Erzählung selbst auch zumindest punktuell bewusst wird, was geschieht. So reflektiert er beispielsweise an einer Stelle seine Sprache, indem ihm klar wird: „[...]hatte er gesagt – und sofort gespürt, wie der lange Schatten der Sprache seines Vaters auf sein Leben fiel.“ (S.27) Es sind also teilweise anerzogene Verhaltensmuster, über Generationen hinweg weitergegeben, die sein Handeln, Denken und Sprechen beeinflussen – wie wir an einer anderen Stelle an einem Exempel aus seiner Kindheit ebenfalls noch einmal verdeutlicht bekommen – aber auch eine von der Gesellschaft verinnerlichte Ablehnung gegen Frauen. Die wenigen lichten Momente, in denen ihm der Gedanke kommt, dass es vielleicht auch anders sein könnte, schiebt er jedoch direkt wieder beiseite. Einen aus Erkenntnissen resultierenden Effekt, nämlich den, sein Handeln zu verändern und auch sein Denken zu hinterfragen, gibt es nicht. Seine Verlobte Sabine bringt es für sich folgendermaßen auf den Punkt: „»Weißt du, was Frauenfeindlichkeit im Kern ausmacht? Letzten Endes?« […] »Nicht geben zu wollen« (S.43) Und damit ist nicht nur das Geben, das selige Geben von materiellen Dingen gemeint, sondern auch das Jemandem-etwas-zugestehen wie beispielsweise das Wahlrecht, das sie an dieser Stelle selbst als Beispiel nennt.Zu Recht wird Claire Keegan als Meisterin der kurzen Form beschrieben, wie sie in Reichlich spät einmal mehr unter Beweis stellt. Beeindruckend ist aber vor allem, wie sie es schafft auf diesen wenigen Seiten eine ganze Welt zu erschaffen, die einem während des Lesens regelrecht vor Augen steht und welch eine Bandbreite an zwischenmenschlichen Konflikten sie zu beschreiben vermag und dabei den Nagel so auf den Kopf trifft. Dabei ist kein Wort zu viel oder wenig, aber alles von Bedeutung. Auch wenn es überraschend scheint, so schafft es Claire Keegan doch ein Spektrum an Themen in ihrer Erzählung zumindest anklingen zu lassen, nämlich beispielsweise Machtstrukturen, Familie, aber auch Einsamkeit und ging mir damit teilweise auch ziemlich ans Herz. Dass ich ein Fan der Autorin bin, ist wohl deutlich geworden und dass sie auch von anderen so gefeiert wird, finde ich großartig. Zwar ging es dieses Mal nicht ohne Spoiler, nichtsdestotrotz ist es Reichlich spät, auch mit diesem Vorwissen absolut wert gelesen zu werden und eine ausdrückliche Empfehlung. Selten habe ich einen Gutschein besser angelegt und möchte an dieser Stelle nochmal ein herzliches Dankeschön dafür loswerden.Wenn ihr mehr von mir und Claire Keegan hören und lesen möchtet, findet ihr in unserem Archiv noch eine Besprechung zu ihrem Roman “Kleine Dinge wie diese”.

New research by Switcher.ie has revealed the best Irish towns and cities to work from home. The study is based on data like broadband speed, house prices, crime rates, green spaces, cafes, GPs and top schools. New legislation which gives employees the right to request remote work is expected by the end of the year. With 91% planning to work fully remote or hybrid, Ireland's towns and local economies could also enjoy the benefits of an increasingly mobile workforce. Top Ten Castlebar coined the top spot as the best place to work from home in Ireland. Not only are house prices considerably lower than others on our list, it offers a winning mix of great leisure amenities, speedy broadband, 5G mobile coverage and plenty of green spaces.

Top 5 safest places to work from home were Skerries, Cobh, Celbridge, Carrigaline and Shannon. Commercial Director of Switcher.ie, Eoin Clarke said: “The new ‘Work Life Balance Bill' will give workers a statutory right to request remote working before the end of this year. What started as a safety measure for many companies during the pandemic is now becoming the norm, giving Irish workers a better quality of life and fantastic financial benefits.” “All the top contenders in our study have lots to offer, and hotspots range from along the sandy west coast to the midlands and Cork's Black Valley, as well as satellite towns bordering Dublin. When it comes to peaceful, low cost, scenic places to work from home, there's plenty to choose from.” “A fast and reliable internet connection, reasonable house prices and open, green spaces make all the difference when working remotely. As workers are no longer pinned down to designated office blocks, we will hopefully see a more evenly distributed workforce – wh...

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris T.D. today announced the expansion of Green Tech Skillnet's Wind Turbine Technician programme at Raheenleagh Wind Farm near Arklow, Co. Wicklow. With energy prices increasing, the need to move to domestically generated sustainable energy is becoming ever more apparent. The programme will provide a vital pipeline of workers with the green energy skills needed to meet Ireland's 2030 targets for CO2 emissions reduction and renewable energy provision. Green Tech Skillnet's Wind Turbine Technician programme The programme is aimed at people with electrical, mechanical or engineering backgrounds and once complete the trainee will be certified with Wind Turbine Technicians. The course is delivered in two stages, the first phase being in-person technical training followed by an industry placement. The Green Tech Skillnet, the facilitator of the programme, works to support companies such as ESB, GE, EDF and Energia to name but a very few, in order to ensure that this industry has the skills and talent required to meet our climate action targets. Launching the programme, Minister Harris said: “We have set ambitious climate targets for 2030 and ensuring we have the right talent is vital in making those commitments a reality. Today we launch the Wind Turbine Technicians programme from Green Tech Skillnet and Skillnet Ireland, which will play a critical role to ensure industry identified skills and talent requirements are met. My Department and I are delighted to support this programme through the National Training Fund, ensuring that we have qualified people ready to take up roles to tackle the climate crisis.” Speaking at the launch Paul Healy, Chief Executive Skillnet Ireland said: “Skillnet Ireland are committed to delivering a talent pipeline so businesses are equipped with the skills needed to take climate action which we all know is urgently needed. We are working across multiple sectors, from FDI to SMEs to develop industry led training and upskilling initiatives which will be critical to achieving our climate action targets.” Also commenting at the launch, Justin Moran, Director of External Affairs, Wind Energy Ireland: “With a massive ramp up in investment in Onshore and Offshore Wind in the coming years, there is a skills shortage in the number of wind technicians in Ireland. This programme designed in partnership with enterprise will train 30 wind turbine technicians in 2022, providing essential skills needed help meet Ireland's Climate Action Plan targets.” About Skillnet Ireland Skillnet Ireland is a business support agency of the Government of Ireland, responsible for advancing the competitiveness, productivity, and innovation of Irish businesses through enterprise-led talent development.

Still sniffling in tin cans—timestamps below! Please Like, Comment, and Subscribe! 00:52 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic recap with Rockemperor's surprise win. Wherefor art thou, Arklow, or Serve the King? 2:25 Given the results, Trixie wonders if she misread the HRN article's theory about Chad Brown's two-horse strategy. 3:30 Keeping the Clue Phone on Do Not Disturb 4:11 Channel Maker at least looked good five-sixths of the race *sad trombone* 4:23 Race Analysis and possible picks for Sands Point (G2) for 3 year-old fillies at Belmont on October 16th, worth $200k in purses, at 1 and 1/8 miles on the turf. 6:21 Plum Ali, Harajuku, and Higher Truth as “repeat offenders” of our sensibilities. In the first post position, we have 3rd Draft, who came in 9th in the Pebbles?! Srsly?! Jordan's Leo seems like an okay bet, and maaaaybe, Harajuku, if she gets a better start than in the Jockey Club Oaks. 7:46 Just so you know, our tradmarked (not really) term for exactas is Xzacta-macta-facta-snackta-ganza 8:49 Maybe Trixie likes Fluffy Socks just for the name and the sire, Slumber. IT'S NOT A CRIME, YOU GUYS. 9:32 We've added a race to our summer tour, a 10/16 race at Keeneland Racetrack in Lexington, Kentucky, the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on turf for 3yo fillies at 1 & 1/8 miles. Shantisara, who just beat a bunch of the fillies entered in the Sands Point, is here with the Grade 1 competition and jockey Flavien Prat aboard. 11:43 What takeaway should we draw this time about Chad Brown's additional entry, Technical Analysis? 12:11 Empress Josephine's here with 5-time winning jockey Johnny V., but only a week after her last race, where she Showed. 12:59 Is Nicest “doomed” as American Pharaoh's kin? Trixie's scrutinizing. 13:26 Flippant, out of Tapit, is Weej's favorite and in Trixie's tops. 14:19 Queen Goddess, out of Empire Maker, may be the outlying interest here as she upgrades to stakes racing with trainer Mike McCarthy and jocky Tyler Gaffalione. 15:43 Burning Ambition shouldn't be ignored either, after coming in first in the Indiana Grand. We run through the rest of the field. Trixie can't decide until the post parade, and Weej thinks any filly here could suprise us. 19:51 The Sands Point race WILL be a laugh, for one reason or another. 20:15 Always check the show notes! (wait, if you're reading this…never mind.) 20:49 Our final race of the “tour” will be the G2 Hill Prince at belmont for 3yo, 1 & 1/8 mile on turf for $400k on October 23rd. Then, onto our Breeders Cup Pre-Cap—squee! 21:58 Horses CAN cross the finish line first if unmanned, but they're not supposed to! JUST FOR THE RECORD: We love making jokes, but love horses more. We encourage and support widespread reform with regard to equine medications, standards of care, and treatment during and after their thoroughbred racing careers. We desire sparkling ethics, so we can enjoy the sport happily and encourage others to become fans, too!

Young people are very accommodating to old farts like PJ who don't know what they're up to. He's now been vaccinated along with a load of other random people, and he tries to warn Suzanne about the impossibility of breaking up with your GP. She goes postal on her kids over greed. The Brits don't need tickets to anywhere, they just arrive. Suzanne has a movie moment in Arklow and PJ hates sea swimming but he's going to do it this week with Fiona Lambert for a great cause. They both think it's unfortunate that we're living through a pandemic and not a war so we can't send all the young people off on tanks. PJ applies for the job of Dublin Nightmare as he very much sees bins, speed bumps and traffic lights in his future. There are animal facts featuring otters, dogs, pigs, cats and sperm whales. PJ threatens Suzanne over food he makes that she will like even though it isn't beige. Suzanne has complicated feelings about handstands and shite people are like takeaways.

Irish-owned data centre owner and operator, Echelon Data Centres and green energy developer SSE Renewables have announced an agreement to develop a joint 220kV substation at the Avoca River Business Park, Arklow, Ireland. The new infrastructure will facilitate the development of Ireland’s first large-scale offshore wind farm, off the coast of Co. Wicklow with an export capacity of 520MW, and Echelon’s DUB20 (Arklow) 100MW data centre. The joint initiative marks the first time in Ireland that an offshore wind farm and a data centre have agreed to develop grid infrastructure. The substation development is expected to require an investment of around €50m to deliver. Upon completion, the proposed offshore wind farm and data centre will both directly connect to the Irish national grid via the new shared substation. The landmark deal is an innovative step forward for the renewable energy and data centre sectors. Sharing grid infrastructure and locating data centres closer to renewable sources of generation such as offshore wind delivers on a key decarbonisation goal set out in Ireland’s Climate Action Plan to facilitate regionally-located data centres and minimise grid reinforcements. It also helps deliver a Climate Action Plan target of installing 1GW of offshore wind by 2025. The development agreement will support the delivery of 250 new jobs for Arklow. This includes the creation of up to 80 new jobs during the construction of the substation. Upon completion of both the technology and renewable energy projects, the data centre will support 90 full-time operational roles while a further 80 full-time jobs will be created locally to support the day-to-day operation of the offshore wind farm. Welcoming the initiative An Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD said, “This announcement is a welcome boost for Arklow; it not only provides new job opportunities, it also places Arklow at the heart of the green tech sector. This collaboration between renewable energy and tech will ensure that key decarbonisation targets contained in the Climate Action Plan are met and is a model which could be rolled out in other communities across the country. “I would like to pay tribute to Echelon and SSE Renewables – having identified an opportunity to share infrastructure to promote sustainability, they worked collaboratively to ensure their vision became a reality.” Niall Molloy, CEO of Echelon Data Centres said: “We’re delighted to be working with SSE Renewables on such a significant initiative – one which enables Ireland’s first large-scale offshore wind farm, contributing greatly to the country’s targets of delivering 1GW of offshore renewable energy by 2025 and 5GW by 2030, and facilitating the creation of 250 jobs locally. “It is also a model for the future, where data centre facilities are located close to the source of renewable energy, providing a constant demand for the power and working with renewable energy providers to facilitate the development of the necessary infrastructure. The initiative represents meaningful progress on the road to cleanly and sustainably powered data centres.” Barry Kilcline, Director of Developments at SSE Renewables said: “This is a major innovation for the integration of renewables and data centres into Ireland’s national grid. Through this landmark agreement with Echelon Data Centres, we will develop new shared grid infrastructure at Arklow that will facilitate the development of the next phase of the 520MW Arklow Bank Wind Park, which we’re on track to deliver to help meet the Government’s 2025 target of 1GW of offshore wind and to enable the connection of Echelon’s planned data centre for South Wicklow. “The announcement is also great news for County Wicklow as it supports 250 new jobs for Arklow, including 80 new roles during the construction of the substation and 170 full-time, locally-based operational jobs on completion of both the wind farm and data centre developments.” The 220kV substati...

Róisín grew up in Arklow, Ireland but moved with her family to Manchester, when she was 12. She formed the group Moloko with Mark Brydon in 1995, straddling the pop, art rock, trip hop divide, cementing their place in the popular consciousness with the tracks Sing It Back, The Time Is Now and Familiar Feeling. Her solo career since has provided evidence of a restless, creative mind, and she has released music ranging from the leftfield pop of Ruby Blue, made with tech jazz producer Matthew Herbert to a recent series of sumptuous deep house EPs (made in conjunction with Maurice Fulton). She has recently moved into film making and has a new single due out this Spring, made with Parrot from Sheffield electronic mainstays, All Seeing I.

Fra og med den 19-årige nordirer Van Morrison som forsanger i gruppen Them i det herrens år 1964 pladedebuterede med en frenetisk udgave af ‘Baby Please Don’t Go' og frem til han 10 år senere udsendte soloalbummet ‘Veedon Fleece', skilte han sig markant ud fra flokken med sine originale kompositioner og unikke vokal. Derefter forlod han show-biz og smækkede døren i efter sig!! For dog så at komme luntende tilbage tre år senere, men det er en anden historie. Som kunstner var Morrison i denne periode både generøs, særegen og transcendent, mens han som person fremstod excentrisk, kontrær og paranoid, især hvad angik pladebranchen og musikpressen.
