🎶 OUT TODAY: RYAN PHOENIX – TURN IT AROUND
Today is release day for local singer-songwriter Ryan Phoenix, whose new original single Turn It Around will be available from 8pm tonight.
Ryan wrote the song during a difficult period when he felt mentally and physically exhausted and questioned whether he should continue with music. He turned that experience into an honest and hopeful message:
“It’s never too late to turn it around.”
A lot of hard work, late nights and emotion have gone into this release, so let’s get behind Ryan and help his new single reach as many listeners as possible.
🎧 Available from 8pm tonight on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other major music platforms.
Have a listen, leave a comment and give it a share to support local music. ❤️🎶 ... See MoreSee Less

🌒 SOLAR ECLIPSE GATHERING OVER YOUGHAL
A large crowd gathered at the high viewing point in Claycastle this evening to watch the partial solar eclipse over Youghal.
At its peak shortly after 7.10pm, approximately 97% of the Sun was covered by the Moon, giving those who turned out a rare sight to remember.
Were you there, and did you manage to get any photos?

North Main Street, Youghal, in the mid-1960s.
Among the shops visible are Pasley’s Foodmarket, with its VG sign on the left, and Merrick’s Department Store on the right, with its distinctive stained-glass canopy over the entrance.
Look closely and you can also see the chimney pots peeping above the roofline on either side of Youghal Clock Gate Tower.
Can you remember the other shops along North Main Street at the time, or the families and people who lived there? We’d love to hear your memories. ... See MoreSee Less
