DAMAGECTRL – Right or Wrong

This track cuts into the heart of today’s divisions — left or right, truth or lies, we’re all caught in the chaos.
Right or Wrong is raw, political alternative rock with heavy early-2000s energy: gritty riffs, aggressive rhythm, and lyrics that refuse to stay silent.

For fans of Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and System of a Down, this is rebellion in sound.
Turn it up. Share it. Decide for yourself.

"Captain Timmy and Finn M'Cool's Griddle" is an adventurous tale of pirates, ancient promises, and a race against time. Captain Timmy and his sensible First Mate, Grey Beard, are summoned by the mysterious Mr. Humphries of the Moored Pirate Cottage. They learn of an ancient wrong: pirates accidentally stole Finn M'Cool's griddle centuries ago, leading to a perpetual promise to help with a grand feast at Dunluce Castle.
The feast is imminent, and crucially, the griddle is lost! Captain Timmy and Grey Beard, aided by the capable Pirate Guild pilots Catherine and Frances, embark on a frantic quest to find it. Their journey takes them from secret pirate harbours and a hidden cottage with a knowledgeable former trainee, to a perilous encounter with napping, axe-wielding retired Vikings, and finally to a series of hidden maps.
The maps lead them on a wild goose chase, revealing that the ultimate map was hidden on their own ship all along! With time running out, they follow the final map to a fort roof, then to the Guildhall, where they finally recover the griddle. Their last challenge is to get it to Dunluce Castle in time for the magical feast, a task aided by an unexpected and majestic intervention. The story culminates with the successful delivery of the griddle, the magical restoration of Dunluce Castle, and the celebration of the feast, all while the heroes remain unnoticed by the revelers, their mission accomplished.

Later in the episode (Timecode: 15:30), we hear from Vicki Rock and Kris Kelly, the husband-and-wife team behind the award-winning boutique creative studio Enter Yes. Their bold coming-of-age short Bulls in Water - directed and written by Kris and produced by Vicki - is about to have its premiere at Foyle.

An ‘Open Format DJ’ from Newry in County Down with over 15 years of experience playing in Clubs and Venues across Ireland. Flip Mac’s journey into DJing is very much rooted from Electronic Dance Music thanks to Artist’s such as Delerium, Rui Da Silva, and Shapeshifters which often soundtracked his journey to school in the early 2000s. The gift of a shoebox from his uncle stocked with 1990’s piano house mixtapes further pressed his determination to get behind a set of decks, and time spent away at College in Liverpool influenced the colourful funky house sound still prominent in his sets.  

Flip initially carved his path to becoming a steadfast name in the Irish club scene during his time at the notorious Relic Nightclub in Newry; playing mix of peak time, open to close and warm up sets for world renowned guest DJ’s in a residency which spanned the best part of a decade. These years were massively significant in honing his skills as a multi genre Club DJ and added versatility to his style which in turn opened the door to further successful residencies in Belfast, Dundalk, and the iconic Voodoo Venue in Letterkenny.

Currently, Flip Mac can be heard at his weekend residencies in Ginger Jane's, Newry and Quinns, Newcastle.
