2019 marked the 40th anniversary of the occupation of the Wood Quay Site in protest of Dublin Corporation building their civic offices on the birth place of our City. The development of these civic offices ignored public outcry, destroying a national monument. This set the precedence for Dublin City Council's ongoing commitment to the destruction of Dublin.

THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2019 CULTURAL SOLSTICE AND TO ALL WHO FOUGHT TO SAVE WOOD QUAY.
THOUGHT AND MEMORY CONNECTS US TO THEM

Regarding food in Irish tradition, Kevin Danaher, writing in 1964, noted that "Sometimes we get the impression that Ireland, in ancient times, was a land of plenty, and again we get quite the opposite impression - that our forebears lived out their lives on the very edge of starvation. In reality both these impressions are wrong." As an expression of culture that permeates every aspect of life, food holds a central place in Irish folk tradition, and for episode 41 of Blúiríní Béaloidis, I am delighted to be joined by Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire, Senior Lecturer in the School of Culinary Arts and Food Technology at Technological University Dublin to discuss food in Irish folk tradition. Máirtín, along with Dorothy Cashman, was co-editor of the recent "Irish Food History: A Companion", published by the Royal Irish Academy in hardcopy in 2024, and available freely online via EUT+ at the following link: https://arrow.tudublin.ie/irishfoodhist/1/

For this episode of the podcast we discuss Máirtín's background, exploring the way in which he came to take such an interest in Ireland's food history, as well as examining the themes of continuity and change in the context of the Irish diet. Join us as we explore Irish food traditions in the context of calendar observances, the life cycle and ritual observances, as well as considering regional foodways, the importance of hospitality and the impact of the Irish language on our understanding of both food and place in Irish tradition. From milk, butter and the Brehon Laws, to spice bags and purple Snack bars, join us as we explore changing attitudes to food in Ireland.

This is also the first episode of the podcast which we have been able to record on video, and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Andrew Fogarty, Veronica Aguilar Olmos and Dominic Martella for their support for the series to date, and for organising the shoot. I hope listeners and viewers will please forgive my excessive humming-and-hawing in this episode - I felt quite nervous in front of the new setup! Video for this episode is available here:

Morning 🌱 autumn is now amongst us and we have our next guest, the lovely Tiblsc ⭐️

In this mix Tiblsc finds themselves already in the cold of winter travelling west from Nawmon to Seoul , as they exhibit sounds that seem to naturally glisten and nestle itself amongst the snowy scenery ❄️🍧. Lullaby like interludes are accompanied by tender melodies. 

We had the pleasure of catching tiblsc live at spanners for a really intimate, special event hosted by texture magazine ⭐️. They have an extensive catalogue of incredible music , their last two releases “Dungeon cats caught in wind castles’ and ‘Silver
Visions’ are ones we adore, as well as their project ‘eleventh hour’ as their alias duo wist. 

‘Prodigy is, at its essence, adaptability and persistent, positive obsession. Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment. Without adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive fanaticism. Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all.(Octavia E. Butler)’
