Oh Well I Never…. Cats is Top Dog at the Theatre

Our editor Michelle headed along to opening night of this musical, the latest to take up a residency at the fabulous Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. Playing at Bord Gáis until September 7^th, Thursday’s opening night performance was met with a standing ovation from the capacity crowd. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking musical, based on the works of TS Eliot, is a delight for musical fans, and still as enthralling today as it was back when it hit the West End an astonishing 34 years ago. Magic. 

Praising the spud!

Today is of course National Potato Day, which our Úna could argue is the best day in the Irish calendar. There are so many things that are great about the humble spud that we had to write up a special list celebrating its wonderful existence! Chips anyone?

Helping Hands...

Team member Rebecca is loving Vaseline’s Healthy Hands and Stronger Nails Hand Cream. “It smells and feels great on my hands. Better still, you only need a small bit which means it lasts longer. You can’t beat that.” Our hands work very hard, typing away here all day... 

Sue Becomes a Directioner 

This week, Sue discovered a new love for One Direction after attending a preview screening for This is Us. She has now decided that Louis is her favourite, but she places Harry as a very close second. Fans of the band will certainly be happy with the new film.

‘Ireland I am coming home…’ Garth Brooks is back, and we couldn’t be happier.

News of the country legend’s forthcoming world tour was leaked on Wednesday, and it is without doubt the greatest news we have heard all year. Never mind Standing Outside The Fire, we’ll run through fire, on fire if we have to, just to ensure we have a ticket to our man’s concert.

Prepping for Picnic

The countdown is on to the big daddy in the Irish festival calendar, and Michelle is very, very excited. Along with the headliners, she’s looking forward to hanging out in Casa Bacardi with some top-notch DJs, and heading to the Electric Ireland tent to bust some moves with Mr Motivator. Yes please.

Only the Best Brownies 

Hansel and Gretel bakery and patisserie which is located on Clare Street in Dublin has a new fan in self-proclaimed chocolate addict Rebecca. She says: "The brownies are the best I have ever tasted and the cookies are pretty nice too. Yum!".
