Choosing the Struggle by Martina AndersonLast Saturday a packed St. Mary's gave a huge welcome to Martina Anderson who was launching her personal and hugely important autobiography – Choosing the Struggle. This is an honest and heartfelt account of Martina growing up in Derry, her experience of poverty, witnessing the excesses of the British Army and RUC and the injustice of the northern state, and deciding to take a stand against these by joining the Irish Republican Army.It is wonderfully well written with her description of her arrest and imprisonment in England, and of the conditions ion which she and her friend and comrade Ella O'Dwyer were held, a reminder of the terrible conditions that Irish POWs endured.Martina's account of her decision to seek a termination of a pregnancy and of the years of brutal strip searches are deeply personal and moving. Her experiences with Ella in Durham prison are especially shocking.Martina sees herself as an activist – in whatever area of struggle she is engaged. She is an Irish Republican who believes that the future of the island of Ireland lies in securing our right to self-determination and Unity.As an MEP she played a leadership role in the campaign to defend the Good Friday Agreement, and force the then Irish government of Enda Kenny to challenge the British government following the disastrous Brexit referendum vote. And she led the diplomatic offensive to secure a special drsignated status for the North.As her friend Eibhlín Glenholmes writes in the Foreword: “This book is also threaded in her love stories. A love for her husband Paul, of the indefatigable Anderson family, of her people, of her comrades, of the future New Irelanders who will reap what she and other women have sown – the seeds of a just and equitable society where every voice is heard.” Well ssid Eibhlín. And well done Martina.Choosing the Struggle is published by Beyond the Pale Books. It is available through An Fhuiseog, 55 Bóthar na bhFál, BT12 4PD and https://sinnfeinbookshop.com/ Women's Voices, Hopes for the Future:Áras Uí Chonghaile was packed to capacity on Tuesday for the launch of Women's Voices, Hopes for the Future a new book published by Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland, and Edited by Grace McDermott and Aoife Ferguson.Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald praised the 62 women who contributed to the book which was, she said an “important opportunity to bring women's voices from the margins to the centre of the conversation about Ireland's future.”The focus of Women's Voices, Hopes for the Future is the new Ireland. What kind of future Ireland do women envisage? The book is a contribution to this conversation and seeks to amplify the diverse voices of women and girls across Ireland and the diaspora.Women have been in the leadership of the struggle for Irish freedom and self-determination. They have been champions for change. Women like Mary Ann McCracken and Winnie Carnie, Constance Markievicz and Máire Drumm, Mairead Farrell and too many others to name. This book challenges all of us to imagine a future that is more equal, more inclusive and more representative of all who share this island.I want to thank all of the women who contributed to the book and when a book signing takes place in your area I would encourage you to get this remarkable book which is full of new ideas, great ideas, for the new Ireland.Women's Voices is available through An Fhuiseog, 55 Bóthar na bhFál, BT12 4PD and https://sinnfeinbookshop.com/The book will also be launched at the Derry Féile by Leas Uachtarán Shinn Féin Michelle O'Neill in Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, Derry on the 12th August at 2.30pm.More details and other launches will be announced soon. Mary DohertyLast Friday I travelled to Carraig Airt in North Donegal to [join my friend and comrade Pat Doherty as he buried his wife Mary. I knew Mary well. She was originally from Mayo and met Pat in the early 1960s in the Gorbals in Glasgow. They married in 1967 and would have celebrated 59 years together next week.As Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald said in her oration Mary was “unique, brave, irreplaceable. She was fierce. She stood her ground. Stood by her beliefs. By her friends. And she loved her family ferociously.”Mary and Pat arrived back in Ireland as the Civil Rights campaign grew into mass street protests across the North and just a year before British soldiers were sent onto those same streets. Together they took a stand against the prejudice, discrimination and oppression they witnessed in the North. Thus began a lifetime of activism in the Republican struggle.Pat contested his first general election in 1989 and then three European elections for Sinn Féin. He became an MLA in 1998. In 2001 Pat became Sinn Féin MP for West Tyrone. Mary was at the heart of each of those campaigns.  I want to extend my deep condolences to Mary's children; Maria, Rosaleen, Kathleen Anne, Danny and Michael. And to her grandchildren; Aoife, Ultán, Daithí, Ruairí, Aoise, Dearbhla, Laoise, Pádraig, Óonagh, Daniel, Mikey and little Gracie. 

Daithí is joined by Áine May Hughes from Native Events to discuss sustainability in festivals and events and bust some myths around where the biggest impacts really lie. We learn all about how Native Events are working to lower emissions, reduce waste, and make events more circular through their consultancy, event production and eco event hire. Áine walks us through the key impact areas, underscoring transport and food & beverage as being overlooked for their impact as opposed to energy or waste and we gain insight into how Native Events tackles the challenges of each impact area in a way which caters to the specific needs of each event, from its size to its audience, to its location. We uncover the truth on the reusable versus single-use plastic cup debate as well as finding out if biodegradable serveware is as sustainable as we think. Whilst Native Events works with local authorities to offer sustainability guidelines, Áine describes events like festivals as being ‘like their own little townships' and explains how commitment and action from both attendees and organisers is required to create an effective shift in attitude and behaviour. Whether you're attending this summer's biggest music festival or organising a small community event Áine's advice is sure to leave you with the knowledge and inspiration to make a change!

To kick off season 6 Daithí is joined by ornithologist and wildlife sound recordist Seán Ronayne, otherwise known as ‘Nature Boy'. Seán is an award-winning author for his memoir ‘Nature Boy' and is well known for his mission to record the calls of every regularly occurring species of bird in Ireland, as captured in the RTÉ documentary ‘Birdsong'. Seán reflects on his lifelong affinity with wildlife recounting how his relationship with nature played a pivotal role in his youth both providing him with a calming safe space as well as positioning himself as different from his peers at school. We gain insight into how Seán adapted to lockdown measures during the pandemic by bringing nature to him through his recordings and how he feels his autism diagnosis is linked to his work. We also explore how bird habitats and species are affected by climate change and human interference and how the work done by people like Seán can be effective in reaching people and inspiring conversation about climate change.   Thanks very much to Emma Sheridan for support with research, design and promotion.

Saoirse by Charleen Hurtubise In the wilds of Donegal, Ireland, 1999, Saoirse is an artist living an outwardly idyllic life. Her tender husband Daithí and two beloved daughters are regular subjects for her work, and in them she has found the safe home that she has always longed for. She tends not to talk about her past, and those that love her have learned to accept that the full story is too painful for her to disclose. When her Dublin exhibition unexpectedly wins a prestigious award that invites a swarm of publicity, Saoirse is left panic stricken. The unanticipated recognition threatens to expose a decade's worth of buried memories and past crimes. Because what her family and friends don't know is that Saoirse has been on the run since she was seventeen, she has stolen an identity to survive, and whilst Ireland might now be her home, it wasn't her first - and now her past life is poised to reclaim her. The novel weaves between flashbacks to a complicated childhood in Michigan, and Saoirse's journey to and in Ireland to forge safety for herself. Hope Rises by David Baldacci Walter Nash, working under the alias of Dillon Hope, is on the road to revenge after becoming an informant for the FBI against a global criminal operation headed up by Victoria Steers. Steers has ripped everything Nash held dear away from him. He has nothing left to lose and with long, rigorous training under his belt the gentle and sensitive Nash has transformed into something he never thought he'd be: a physically imposing man with lethal skills. And now he has only goal left in life: taking down Victoria Steers. In order to succeed, he's going to need to cross enemy lines and work the job from the inside. But Steers is shrewd and only brings those with her complete trust into her inner circle. Nash must rely on every ounce of his hard-earned skills in order to prove himself an ally to Steers if he's ever going to get close enough to decimate her criminal empire. Yet, despite hating the woman for destroying his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways that he never could've imagined. And what he ultimately discovers will turn all he believed upside down, forcing Nash to do something truly unfathomable. So, will the truth set Nash free?

Score one out for the boys - it's NO ENCORE. Podcast OG Daithí returns with a brand new cinematic accompaniment under his belt, given his work as composer for new Irish film Christy which hits the picture houses this weekend. Fittingly enough, he's casting his eyes and ears on some other notable scorekeepers from the film world, with particular focus on some of the more unsung heroes - at least compared to the stratospheric likes of Hans Zimmer, anyways. All that and a lot more to discuss, so let's get to it... ACT ONE: The preamble takes in Dave's visit to Father John Misty, Adam's intimate encounter with Blood Orange, and a necessary trip to CLARIFICATION CORNER. ACT TWO (11:39): Christy hits cinemas this weekend - it's the thoughtful and sensitive debut feature film from Brendan Canty, with none other than Daithí providing the original music. We talk about that, and where he's at with all his various projects at the moment. ACT THREE (39:38): News, and lots of it - Taylor Swift gets engaged, The Mary Wallopers get disengaged, Snoop Dogg gets scared, Will Smith gets criticised, and Becky Lynch gets shamed. Quite the fiery week, really.
