My taxi driver this morning was pure buzzin cos he was nominated for a taxi driver of the year award and they were putting him and his wife up in a nice hotel for the night 🥹 GOOD LUCK HENRY
🎶 REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! 🎶
I am so so grateful to the young 15 year old Byrnes lad who found the ring outside CBS and had the good heart and soul to return it ❤
So what'd you do before you were able to Google the lyrics of songs?
Well kids, I accepted without question that this woman's lover had no money but DID thankfully have a "trombolese"
I didn't know what I was going to say until I said it, but I'm glad I did
Thank you all for your kindness. We can't lose another life to senseless violence.
Thanks to the Late Late for inviting me to speak and to sing ❤
Unbelievably, I believe we've found it, thanks to an incredibly sweet 15 year old who found it after school and told his sister about it ❤
Thank you all so so so so much, I can breathe at last
I'll have it on Saturday so will confirm 100% then

@Limerick_Leader
Start of a new chapter... I mostly did it so
@kennedy798
can add "husband to famous and attractive musician, Emma Langford" to his twitter bio, tbh
But he said yes ❤️
I later ate my ring
This didn't feel stunning or beautiful, it felt heartbreaking. My chest was tight and my head hurt. I'm glad if the performance offered any solace, and so grateful to the Late Late for giving us a platform to speak, but I'm so angry and desperately sad at why we were there.
Holy shit Ryanair have finally processed my refund from flights that were cancelled in 2020 - a refund I've been requesting since then. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
Words can't express how it felt to have this little dream come true tonight... Been a fan of
@Tommedian
for forever.
Thank you to the team behind
#TommyTiernanShow
for the most beautiful hospitality and care.
Please tell your kids not to wrap their arms around a strange dog's neck, not to put their face right up to a strange dog's face, and to ask the owner's permission before petting 🙏❤
To the barista at Starbucks in Limerick train station, thanks for making a tired gal's morning 🥲 didn't notice this til I got on the train – off to sing a couple of songs for the
@RadioRayRTE
show ❤️
I have some pretty epic news to share :) I got an email late last year from a brilliant English composer, asking if I'd be play the "last Irish princess" in her musical, Colours.
Aedan Cara is a warrior princess, and in this song she is falling in madly in love...
'Hours after the attack Crotty boasted to friends on Snapchat: “Two to put her down, two to put her out”, in reference to striking Ms O’Brien four times.'
Dear stupid c*** that nearly hit me with your car as you drove straight through a pedestrian crossing because you were leering at some young wan, WITH YOUR INFANT SON in the car next to you
You're a stupid c***
The end
This is Barnaby. He visits the beach often, but had never gone for a swim until today. Hopes you’re proud of him. 13/10 bye for now Barnaby

In case anyone needs to know they're not alone, I too am anxious about the lifting of restrictions ❤ it is completely understandable after the last 2 years.
(Yes I recognise this is a positive thing for many people / am not detracting from that by feeling my own damn feelings)
Imagine being a grown man, thinking it's in any way okay or acceptable to encourage a pile-on on a young artist for *checks notes* accepting a gig, and wearing a t-shirt they like that happens to state a literal fact.
I am so proud & honoured to be part of tonight's Late Late Show tribute to the late great Dolores O'Riordan, w Kellie Lewis,
@ICOrchestra
and a big beautiful choir ❤ tune in on RTÉ 1 / RTÉ Player from 9.35 for the first show of the season!
Someone being happy about the world reopening doesn't negate someone else being unhappy or anxious about it and vice versa
Can we try for a little empathy? A little nuance? I know it's hard, I do. But we're all going to feel differently about this for valid reasons.
Easy to get caught up in the understandable rage around this, but it's more important to let anyone we know who's been made to feel endangered and vulnerable know that they're loved, wanted, welcomed and supported here in Ireland. Those thugs don't speak for us.
Folks working in Irish radio, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT to really support independent Irish musicians who are having all gigs pulled, who in some cases are reliant on royalties for any income👏at👏all. Please please please do the decent thing, screw your sponsorships, throw us a bone.
Some great news - Myriad Artists in the USA haven taken me on and will be looking after my bookings for Meiriceá! 🇺🇸
Holy smokes, I'm excited to start building my fanbase in America. So... See you guys at a show?

Last night I was offered a gig I've wanted for abouuuut six? years? Woke up this morning to double-check and it WASN'T a dream lads – very flipping excited.

Ireland's official showcase musical acts have pulled out of sxsw. We don't want promotion of our island's creative industries at an event inexorably tied with war, sponsored by the US army.
The sector you claim to represent has spoken. Please listen.
I know someone who's just come back from the test centre in Limerick. The 1st person they met, essentially an usher, told them that "drinking hot drinks kills the virus in your mouth"
I am incan-fucking-descent with rage that someone in a position of power is spreading this bull.
Lads, bit shook.
To the individual who somehow found my home address and posted LoveBoth literature to me, I have some bad news - on the same day, my beautiful
#Repeal
jumper arrived in the post.
Out of respect for your privacy I've covered your name. I expect the same courtesy.
I've muted notifications on most of my tweets today because I'm really not up to taking the brunt of anyone's misunderstandings, so I'm sorry if I miss any of your comments ❤ thanks x
Well, it's official, the submission's been accepted & Sowing Acorns is on the Grammys longlist for Album of the Year 🍾🏆
The campaigning begins... I'm sure it goes without saying but on the off-chance any of you have a vote, I'd love it
Do not support Bunratty Folk Park until and unless they offer a full explanation of what happened their previous wolfhounds and demonstrate that they have any kind of animal welfare policy in place. Hearing horrifying stuff.
Don’t ask what happened the last wolfhounds and definitely don’t ask what happened to them during lockdown, and definitely don’t look them on up Molly Moos rescue
Baffled by comments on the Irish Women in Harmony Facebook post about the new Xmas song saying "they're just trying to promote themselves" like... Yes? Hello. Good morning. That was half the point of setting up the f*&€ing project?
Gowls... 😂
Someone might have found the ring, might be a happy ending to the story, I'll let ye all know when I know - thank you all so so much ❤ you're a brilliant little community
Thrilled to announce that this International Women's Day I will be indulging the feminine urge to cancel all plans to see people for the next seven days approx
I had a lovely time chatting to
@MiriamOCal
this morning.
AND I'm Delighted to share the wonderful news that Janis Ian has given me her blessing to release "At Seventeen" ❤️
"Of course it would be fine with me. I’d be so happy knowing there was a version by you out there."
To the radio stations getting slated, I want to help. I'm compiling a playlist of new releases since the start of this year from Irish women.
It's called Not Good Enough, because we're told it's because we're just not good enough, and because this carry on is not good enough.
I don't have words to cover the last seven days... Thanks lads
I'm so glad if you found something in the song or the video that you can connect with; connection is what music is for, and it's more vital than ever these days

Imagine falling in love with someone and then finding out they're one of those Daves that comment "how is this news?????" on local papers' Facebook posts
