The Encore! exhibition looks at ways connection happens through live music: being emotionally moved by a performance, connections between those on stage and those in the crowd, and the feeling of being connected to others in a music community. Some featured music venues in the exhibition include the Auckland Town Hall, Powerstation, Galaxy, Temple Bar, Crystal Palace and more. Join us for a conversation on how central Auckland venues have influenced the city over time, and what challenges and opportunities will define their future role.

Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Temple Bar’s Ian Lance about the trust’s standout performance since 2020, driven by disciplined value investing—buying unloved, low-priced companies with recovery potential and holding them as sentiment improves. Lance argues that success comes from focusing on long-term earnings rather than short-term pessimism, even if it means owning controversial stocks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tens of thousands of people took to the city of Dublin yesterday to celebrate St Patrick's Day. Tourists and locals alike gathered in their droves, with many celebrating on the streets while others filled bars and restaurants, partying well into the night.This morning, those returning to the city center were met with the aftermath of the festivities. Streets were strewn with litter, broken glass, and, in some cases, vomit lining the paths, offering a stark glimpse into the scale of the celebrations…How filthy is Dublin city today, and what does this say about the people living or visiting our capital?Joining Andrea to discuss is owner of Martin Gear Jewelers, Martin Gear, Mary Harkin from Rory's Fishing Tackle in Temple Bar, as well as listeners.

In this St. Patrick's Day episode, I ask the question: Is it actually Irish? We will explore over thirty songs that are performed in Irish contexts and see if they actually come from Irish sources. Along the way, we'll discuss the Rising of 1798, the history of Dublin, the Great Famine, and the Irish diaspora.  Host: Olivia Harding Learn more about the Albuquerque Folk Festival: https://www.abqfolkfest.org/ Support Folk Files: https://www.patreon.com/FolkFilesPodcast Special thanks to Aaron J.

Hear about travel to Dublin, Ireland, as the Amateur Traveler talks to tour guide Garvan Rushe from DublinTourGuide.ie about the capital and largest city of Ireland. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel here. Why should you go to Dublin? Garvan describes Dublin as approachable and human in scale, a capital that feels more like a town than a sprawling metropolis. Visitors often find a sense of connection here, whether or not they have Irish ancestry. The city's story reflects its complex past: British rule for over 700 years followed by independence only about a century ago, leaving visible traces in architecture, monuments, and institutions. Practical Orientation Stay on the south side of the River Liffey for convenience and quieter nights. Avoid lodging in Temple Bar if you want sleep, though it is worth visiting for nightlife. Dublin's small size makes it easy to explore on foot or via guided walking tours. If arriving on a red-eye from North America, ease into sightseeing with a shorter itinerary. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-dublin-ireland-2/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

The fourth and final stop on the Nations Pod Guide is Ireland's Fair City. From Croke Park to the Aviva, from Temple Bar to Ballsbridge - Chris, Tom and GRO discuss what makes Dublin special and so much more than a rugby city. Tom teaches us about Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, we get the lowdown on his favourite Dublin pubs and playwrights, and he even recites some poetry! But it's not all highbrow conversation, we get stuck into Temple Bar, the Guinness and what's it like on Paddy's Day during a Six Nations weekend. How does the Aviva's atmosphere compare to the other home nations' stadiums? And what is the greatest achievement in Irish rugby history? Plus, we revisit England's visit to Lansdowne Road in 2003 and the cultural and historical significance of their match at Croke Park in 2007.

There has been much debate in recent years about the state of our country's capital city, Dublin. With many city dwellers debating whether the day-to-day experience is diminishing in terms of safety and crime. We ask is Is Dublin city in decline? To discuss with Pat was Mannix Flynn, Independent Dublin City Councillor and Martin Harte, CEO of Temple Bar company & Spokesperson for Dubin Business Alliance.

In Dublin, the rain drifts rather than falls, turning the streetlights of Temple Bar into blurred halos. Cillian sits alone in a pub, avoiding the deafening silence of his own home—a house that has been too quiet since his wife, Siobhan, passed away. He has set a place at the table out of habit, a monument to his loss. But when a soaking wet traveler stumbles into the pub with a backpack and a ruined plan, Cillian is forced to decide whether to guard his grief or open the door. Join us for a story about the 'empty chair' and the courage it takes to fill it.

Welcome to the monthly bonus episode of the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast all about investment trusts, presented by Dan Coatsworth and Hannah Williford. Kicking off the show is the news that activist investor Saba is back with new campaigns and talk of launching a new investment vehicle. [02:33] It's been a good year to invest in UK shares, and we've got two experts on the pod to explain how they find opportunities. Dan talks to Ian Lance from Temple Bar about how he's delivered supersized returns, and why Smith & Nephew and Johnson Matthey have caught his eye. [12:58]. We also hear from James Harries, manager of the STS Global Income & Growth, about why the UK is such a big part of his portfolio, and why he likes insurance provider Admiral and consumer goods giant Reckitt. [26:07] Hannah talks about some new figures that suggest Donald Trump's policies have revived interest in ESG-related factors when investing, following a steady decline since 2022. [40:18] Finally, Hannah chat with Dan Higgins from Majedie about bringing university-style endowment investment to the public. [45:45]

Yesterday saw the Pittsburgh Steelers claim victory at Ireland's first NFL game, but on Friday night, their reserve quarterback Skylar Thompson was reportedly assaulted and robbed in Dublin city centre. Gary Gannon, Social Democrats TD and the Party's Spokesperson for Justice, joined Ciara Kelly on the show.

There was yet another instance of anti-social behaviour in the city center over the weekend, with a Pittsburgh Steelers player allegedly assaulted and robbed in the early hours of Saturday morning…It is one of a spate of similar instances in recent weeks. What impact is it having on how Dublin is perceived globally, and is that having an effect on business in the capital?Joining guest host Ciara Doherty to discuss is Luca de Marzio, owner of Rosa Madre in Temple Bar and Trina O'Connor, Criminologist and Lecturer in Psychology in TU Dublin.

Last weekend, over the course of 24 hours, two men were stabbed and seriously injured in separate incidents in Dublin's city centre.An English tourist was hospitalised on Saturday night after he was stabbed in Temple Bar and on Sunday, a 17-year-old teenager was left in a critical condition after he was repeatedly stabbed on Dublin's Eden Quay.These latest attacks will undoubtedly reinforce beliefs that the streets of the Irish capital are becoming unsafe. They also come in the wake of a surge in attacks against immigrants, particularly the Indian community.Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan recently pushed back against any suggestions that Dublin was unsafe, arguing that the capital city is actually becoming safer. In contrast, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said earlier this year that people living, working and visiting the city “have been robbed of their sense of safety”.In today's episode, Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally joins Sorcha Pollak to discuss the latest crime figures in the capital and how recent assaults are impacting people's perception of personal safety.Produced by Suzanne Brennan and Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a historic weekend up ahead. The Pittsburgh Steelers will play in Ireland on Sunday in the first ever NFL Dublin Game against the Minnesota Vikings.

An English tourist is in a critical condition following an assault in Dublin city centre in the early hours of this morning. Barry Gallagher reports from Dublin City Centre.

Temple Bar has been named as the third worst tourist trap in the world – only behind Fisherman's Wharf in the US, and Las Ramblas in Barcelona in Spain.And, while many will complain at how expensive the likes of Temple Bar is, are tourist traps just part of a thriving city?Joining Kieran to discuss is Elaine Cobbe, CBS Correspondent in Paris and Ana Rosa Butler, Writer based in Spain.

Temple Bar has been named the third biggest tourist trap in the world.The complaints against it are the prices, the dirty streets and being overcrowded.We often hear complaints about the cost of a pint there, or of the mess on the streets, so how do we sort it?Joining Andrea to discuss is Declan O'Brien, Chair of The Temple Bar Resident's Association, owner of Rory's Fishing Tackle, Mary Harkin, Travel Writer Melaine May and more.

When Seán's guest moved into his flat in the middle of Temple Bar in 1996, this historic and recently regenerated part of Dublin was a bohemian and cultural mecca. Frank MacDonald has been writing in the Irish Times about how it transformed into a very different beast over the decades, forcing him to sell up and move out of the city altogether.He joins to discuss…

Seen from a passing stagecoach, you might think that Gylingden Hall is not the sort of place where the dead rest easily. The chimneys are cold, the gallery echoes with no human tread, and the great trees that line the avenue whisper of old wrongs and buried fury. In the shadow of the ruined chapel and beneath the rot-black timbers of the house, something lingers—a grief curdled into malice, a legacy neither signed nor forgotten. Squire Toby's Will is not a tale of ghosts who startle, but of the slow, relentless suffocation of guilt, and of the strange things a man will refuse to see, even when they're clawing at the door. Published anonymously in Temple Bar magazine, Volume XXII, in 1868. Later attributed to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and often compared to his novel The Wyvern Mystery, written around the same time. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic fiction and supernatural tales, widely praised for his subtle and psychologically charged ghost stories. A master of atmosphere and ambiguity, he was admired by M. R. James and influenced the shape of modern horror fiction. ⭐ Join my Patreon ⭐ https://patreon.com/barcud Go here for a library of ad-free stories, a monthly members only story and early access to the regular stories I put out.  You can choose to have ghost stories only, or detective stories or classic literature, or all of them for either $5 or $10 a month.  Many hundreds of hours of stories.

After travelling through Montreal, Bilbao, and Vilnius, cities alive with colour, sound, and soul, I returned home and felt the contrast sharply. Dublin, like many cities across the developed world, feels hollowed out. Despite booming economic growth and over €150 billion sitting idle in savings accounts, our capital is crumbling. Streets are lifeless, dereliction is everywhere, and policy seems paralysed. So what went wrong? This week, we explore how bad incentives, not bad people, kill cities. Drawing on historical revivals like Temple Bar, we propose bold 21st-century solutions: tax breaks to bring buildings back to life, amnesties to release hoarded property, and a new savings product that lets the public invest directly in urban renewal. If the private sector won't build, let the public fund it. Then we turn to global markets, where Trump is gearing up to fire Fed Chair Jay Powell and slash interest rates. But he may learn the hard way: the bond market, not the White House, sets the tempo. If confidence cracks, long-term interest rates could skyrocket. Urban decay and global volatility are two sides of the same economic coin. Can we change course in time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's official: caviar is back on menus, but this time, customers are being offered so-called ‘caviar bumps' - little taster servings on the back of their hands...Niall Sabongi from The Seafood Cafe in Temple Bar joins Seán to talk about this novel food trend.

"By One, by Two, and By Three" is a short story by the British writer, Adrian Ross -- aka Stephen Hall (real name, Arthur Reed Ropes). The tale, which first appeared in the December 1887 edition of Temple Bar, concerns a curious character by the name of Angus Macbane, whose dislike of a wealthy uncle is expressed in the most unwholesome of ways.

Martin Harte, Tradfest festival director, discusses today's launch and its theme of increasing accessibilty.

Sam Ross, of Attaboy, Milk & Honey, Temple Bar, Good Guy's, and general cocktail creation fame joins us to discuss one of said creations: the Paper Plane. Vying for position with the Penicillin as one of Ross's most famous and beloved drinks, the Paper Plane took off by employing the Last Word template and introducing some then-little-known ingredients, including non-negotiable Amaro Nonino. Listen on (or read below) to learn Ross's Paper Plane recipe — and don't forget to leave a rating, review, and subscribe! Sam Ross's Paper Plane Recipe Ingredients - ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice - ¾ ounce Aperol - ¾ ounce Amaro Nonino - ¾ ounce bourbon (above 90 proof) Directions 1.

The camera never lies or does it? In this episode, I take a trip to the National Photographic Archive in Temple Bar, Dublin. Joining me is the archivist, Nora Thornton. Nora not only leads you through the history of photography from its earliest days but also delves into the murky history of image manipulation. It's much older than modern photoshopping. From your great-grandmother, who was eager to alter her figure, to more significant political editing, there's a fascinating history that unfolded behind the scenes.You can visit the National Photographic Archive - its located on Meeting House Square in Templebar.
