Time to plug Daughter again. If you are sailing out of Miami on Carnival please say Hi. Support the Arts in Schools💪

NewsThump gets it spot on as usual.

Neoliberalism has ravaged the UK Workers’ share of gross value added down from 71.9% in 1975, to 59.7%. 1.23m workers are on zero-hour contracts. 4.4m jobs pay less than the real living wage. Poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in direct/indirect taxes than the richest 20%.

Grandad had to sleep on site as he couldn’t get digs. Hope Mayo win the Football today. Thinking of you Joe O’Brien🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Loved Killing Thatcher and gifted copies to many friends so eagerly awaiting delivery@rorycarroll72.bsky.social. My wife wondered why I was all emotional on a visit to the Tower of London and I pointed out I was where Sir Roger was held. First song my Grandmother taught me.

Just back from a wonderful 5 days in Milan. If you want an authentic seafood risotto this place is wonderful. Also worth a trip to Armani Silos. E10 for a close up of his historic collections and as amazing as any of the Art Galleries.

Time to plug Daughter again. Please support the Arts in Schools @andyburnham.bsky.social Performers generate significant tax income. Freedom of movement for Performers🙏

@chrisstein.bsky.social cracking read👍

2 months till the 22nd Ireland Golf Tour. Cork GC, Cahir GC, Tramore GC, Gold Coast GG and West Waterford GC. 108 holes in 6 days. Staying at Lawlors Hotel Dungarvan and food and music at The Local, Merrys and The Moorings. 11 lads 6 Days, what could possibly go wrong 🇮🇪💚🤣

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Highly Recommended. One of my favourite reads where I can’t decide if it should go on the Irish History shelf or Music Biography one. Illuminating and a lesson in mindfulness bravery and sheer determination. Maybe between Shane MacGowan and Geldof😎

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Quite a while ago, she was 15 I think then and the idea of 7 Cruise contracts was but a dream. Support all Children to be taught Music/The Arts in School.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social speaking my language 🤣

Just finished Barack Obamas book of the year. Excellent inspirational story about how immigrants coped in America through support and love. Also if you are interested I also finished Donald Trumps book of the year The Cat in the Hat.

Afitos Greece. Wonderful place

Time to plug Daughter again. Norwegian Pearl floating around Europe for a bit.

In Southampton waiting to meet my Daughter on Norwegian Cruise ship tomorrow (Dad supplies) In the meantime I’ve found Jesus😇

Well @stephenking.bsky.social I have never regretted one of your or Joe’s recommendations and still don’t but this was one grind to finish but as you say it may well be a classic one day. That is if the Orange Tango Baby doesn’t ban it. Learnt a lot about climate change and sea beds and carbon!

Celebrated St Patrick’s weekend picking up a Trophy at the Golf Club and then got rather squiffy🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Time to plug Daughter again and all working musicians. It’s a tough gig so try not to talk over them or wander past the stage🙄

6 weeks till Dungarvan Ireland Golf Tour. Cork GC Tramore GC Dungarvan GC West Waterford GC Gold Coast GC (pic) 108 holes 6 days and a few shneaky pints.

So long Madrid. Brilliant place👍

Post Christmas I need to get my speed reading going as another load will arrive for my Birthday in April!

To cheer up a cold Sunday plugging Daughter braving it out post Covid to a near empty Theatre in Cyprus. Gotta earn the pennies till the big bucks come it’s a tough industry. Support work for performers in EU and a common sense agreement one day🤞

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Great Passion James. We need to call this rubbish out💪

Off to Madrid. Any tips Bluesky Family?

So there comes a time when Parents and kids cross a path……and mine is myself and my Daughter going to see the Bob Dylan film together. I am sooooo proud she has downloaded the soundtrack and is nagging me about songs 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Plugging the Daughter again. If you are on Norwegian Cruises next year……go to a show!!!!

Time to plug the Daughter again. 5 yrs ago Marrella Cruise ship. Secret Dad filming again🤣

No sense of humour in the Kiely household 🤣

That time of year again😉

Our partners wondering what lads do on our Irish Golf Tour……me and the lads……… With Christmas approaching please remember that Human Buckaroo is by far the best party game.😇

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

Always be kind. Daughter (professional singer) asked me to listen to Cynthia Erivo’s version of Defying Gravity from new Wicked Film and both of us were a touch critical of the very audible breath before the last note. Turns out sings live in a corset whilst flying in Harness! Sorry Cyn😔 well done💪

Looking forward to this read. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social

Shameless plug for my Daughter and indeed all Theatre/Cruise ship/singers/Bands who have had their lives made harder to work in Europe. Sad to see so many of her peers leave the industry due to Brexit issues.
