NASA’s shout-out to plumbers from space shows society can’t afford to sneer at people with specialist skills. The class factor is rife: professionals have careers, workers have trades. ‘White van man’ is mocked.Truth is we rely on people who can fix things belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Nothing to beat a day on the Antrim Coast. 30th August sees the inaugural 'Glenarm Arts & Literature Fayre'. Details via glenarmvillagecommittee.co.u… All events are free of charge, but booking via website is advisable for some, due to limit on numbers.

at my age I should be more concerned by my blood pressure, but I was enraged by this news. Funding for the arts generally is desperately poor in NI. Despite this we are blessed by so many organisations which succeed with no or limited support @ScottsJazzClub @qubmusic
Northern Ireland's only national youth choir faces closure due to a funding cut. The choir has been running for over 25 years, and has worked with thousands of young singers, but a concert this Saturday in Belfast is set to be its last.

and @MovingOnMusic @Cqaf @empiremusichall. Can @ArtsCouncilNI please rectify this out without delay? £60 k to maintain a fantastic initiative with a 25 year history? Seriously??

Fabulous result. Not surprising as Larne were very much the better team last week. Onwards and upwards - the new normal??

🎤 Raye lit up the Pyramid Stage with a Bond-worthy performance of Prada, closing the song with a burst of flames.
Dressed in a sleek black sequin gown and backed by a full band, it felt like her unofficial 007 audition 👇

John Scofield, Ornette Coleman, John Surman in the Whitla Hall or at the Guinness Spot. These days are gone so thanks to @MovingOnMusic and @ScottsJazzClub for keeping the faith and promoting live music. 'You don't know what you have 'till its gone'
very eloquently put, as we have come to expect from Colin. I am of the lucky generation who were interested in jazz when the QUB/Belfast Festival was well funded, and I was able to see, among others, Gary Burton, David Murray, Andrew Hill, John McLaughlin, Dave Holland

Weekly reminder we have 3 options:
1. Continue to annually underfund NIW ❌
2. Turn off waste water treatment sites leading to increased public health risks and 💩 ❌
3. Change its structures and ability to strategically borrow more £££ against its assets ✅

Gomez were also a great live band
a flawless 1990s album that isn’t by nirvana or pearl jam
we covered their 2nd album for the podcast, but this is just as good, because @gomeztheband had TWO flawless albums in the 1990s 😲😲😲
