2XM: The Fourcast – 14th February 2012
February 14th, Valentines day, The Fourcast gave thought to the concept of a show about love songs and the likes. However we decided that many would go that route so we went the other direction and got the team to suggest songs they had been listening for your lovely ears.
We have more news for you straight from Goldenplec.com, all news is taken from the site so if you’re already here the latest news can be found here. Todays show features plenty of great new music including Cast Of Cheers – Family, Silhouette with their brand new track which is all over TV with the Discover NI advert and even some chiptune in the form of Anamanaguchi.

The All Star Wars at The Olympia Theatre
Another opening night event, it was a privilege to get the opportunity to see what has been described to me as I Keano for Hurling heads. Well I’m not exactly a big hurling head but I know enough to get by and certainly enough to enjoy some of the more subtle jokes in the show.
It’s written by comedy duo Bryan Flynn and Kevin McCormack and is in Dublin for a week only so you don’t have much time to go check it out. What I can say without ruining it is that I sat through the first half, found the part with the TV panel to be the funniest but wasn’t overly blown away. However the second half of the show built upon everything the first half had put in place and was a phenomenal finish.
And any red blooded man wouldn’t think twice about coaching that camogie team. Holy schmokes, sure just look left at the thumbnail to see these girls are nothing to be messed with, hurls in hand.
Totally enjoyable show, you will be laughing right to the end and a big shout out goes to the actor playing Davey Fitz who played his role amazingly and deserved the biggest cheer of the night that he received humbly. A quality show, well worth the money.

Human Body Exhibition at The Ambassador Theatre
Well I was one of the few who got a look at the Human Body exhibition before it opened to the public which was great. It’s always nice to be one of the few given the first peek of something and having not caught it when it was here first time I was delighted to take a wee look. More…
