To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights and hotels to see us play, we are sorry...it is out of our hands.
#Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We’ve played there many many times, with no issues - ever. Make of that what you will.” )

#Belfast lives under a cold peace, where a tall fence topped by strands of barbed wire, separates some Protestant from Catholic neighborhoods. Gates in the fence are closed at night.

@murchadhfinn A Jewish lady in her 70’s and another woman in her 50’s were arrested in Belfast yesterday, while putting a sticker on a Barclays hole-in-the-wall cash machine. The sticker was in support of those being murdered in Gaza hourly. She was taken to Musgrave Stn, processed for ‘criminal damage’ and later released. There was a protest outside the police station until her release. Appalling behaviour by #PSNI while so-called Christians daily shout homophobic, transphobic and mysogynistic abuse daily in the city centre and they are ignored. #BarclaysBank #PSNI #Belfast #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes #Starvation
For me, the best thing about the brilliant new Pride window in Belfast City Hall is this “Save Sodomy From Ulster” t-shirt.
It’s an inversion of Ian Paisley’s 1970s anti-gay campaign, Save Ulster From Sodomy, which opposed reforming the law in the North of Ireland to bring it into line with the UK’s decriminalisation from 1967 onwards. Paisley failed, and decades later the first UK civil partnership was registered in Belfast.
I’m sure the DUP are seething about it.
While on a wander around #SlievenacloyNatureReserve this morning I got a few shot of this lovely male #Redpoll.
After processing the images at home I noticed he was wearing some jewellery!
I doubt it’s enough to report but interesting nonetheless.

A beautiful day for a wander in Cregagh Glen, Belfast.
The light through fresh Beech leaves, carpets of Bluebells and the sound of flowing water…
At least eight #Mediterranean #gulls (and a few #Sandwich #terns) among the #BlackHeadedGulls on the nesting raft at @RSPB #Belfast #WindowOnWildlife this morning.
