This is a must-see! Edna's power and fragility, the nostalgic glimpses of 60s, 70s, 80s Ireland and London, her relationship with her parents and her children, the final interview in her majestic old age - oh wow the whole thing is so compelling - grab a ticket! 💚

1999 at the Royal Albert Hall, it was a very special day for the O’Riordan family when I got to introduce Marianne Faithfull to my lovely baby bruv and his first-born! She was such a wonderful lady and a truly great heart-and-soul artist - may she rest now in peace and glory 💚

Tell ‘em Lisa! The mighty Lisa O’Neill after wrapping her run of sold-out shows at the Gate Theatre - one of the all-time greats. Good to see my U2X-Radio colleague John Kelly there, and huge respect too to Foggy Notions for making these shows happen! 💚 #dublin

Outside the Manchester Ritz, heading in to soundcheck for the last night of our tributes to Shane MacGowan - these shows have been so joyous, rowdy, beautiful and heart-healing - hearing the audiences sing back every word of Shane’s immortal songs has been incredibly moving - thank you to all! 💚

Home Sweet Home! I've landed back in Dublin and straight to work I go singing an old folk song tonight with an actual, real-life, ORCHESTRA! Sunday Miscellany is one of the best-loved shows in Ireland so it's sold out, BUT they've given me two tickets to share - let me know if you want to join us! 💚
