We are delighted to be supporting the Irish Feminist Network for International Women’s Day on Tuesday 8th March. They are hosting a fundraising night with a host of talented musicians so if you would like to lend them your support, do go along to the Mercantile Bar on Dame Street to join the fun. The musicians include Isobel Anderson, Lauren Guilley, and Marianne Lee (some video clips below). All donations received will go towards raising awareness about gender inequality with a focus on empowering women in Ireland.

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and every best wish for the New Year.

Some tongue in cheek Halloween humour… 

 Be the ghostess with the mostess

Time for a coffin break

Hang around for a spell

Witching you a Happy Halloween

Remember the gh’oul times

 If the broom fits, fly it

The graveyard shift is best. No bones about it!

Let  us know if you have any sayings to add to the pot..
