Say it with us now, one-two-three-four a one-two-three-four! Irish traditional music has never been better, making an evening spent belting out trad songs while an aul lad toots at a tin whistle a great way to spend an evening. Glasses are clinked, toes are tapped and if you’re lucky, someone will whip out a pair […]

Going out out has become less of a thing that excites, and more something that fills me with dread. Listen, this is a lifestyle trend I’m very much into.

As parents across Ireland frantically buy up the remainder of the Easter eggs on supermarket shelves across the country […]

Make a proper day out of your visit to the National Gallery. I’ve loved going to the National Gallery of Ireland for years, ever since I was quite little.

When Jamie Duff and Oliver White picked up their tennis rackets for a game in their local area of Ashbourne, they could never have thought it would have ended up with a proposition from the legendary Roger Federer. That’s exactly what happened when the two 21-year-olds shared a video of their on-court action and tagged […]

Finding an Irish pub abroad is one thing… finding an exact replica of your favourite boozer though (O’Donoghue’s in this case)? That’s not something that happens all that often.  Happening upon an Irish pub abroad used to be one of our favourite hobbies. The irony of leaving the country only to end up back in […]
