Macca at 80 burning bright. Old songs still sound brand new. Still playing in the ol’ tempo. Got to get you get you into my life indeed. #Glastonbury2022#Glastonbury
As for the voice. It carries the sound of over 60 years on the road. Yes it’s not what it used to be. But he’s still there under the crackle and boy when he rocks out at the high end. Better than many half his age 🔥 #Glastonbury2022#glastonbury#PaulMcCartney
This man wrote some of the best songs ever and the fact that @PaulMcCartney can still deliver them alive and kicking at 80 years of age is astounding. I’m in awe. And what a band he has!!! #Glastonbury2022#glastomac#Glastonbury
Yes that is Paul McCartney singing Love Me Do live 60 years later.
LIVE. 60 YEARS LATER!!!
I’m in heaven in my kitchen #Glastonbury#glastomac
That preamble and rendition of ‘Here Today’ written to John Lennon was one of the most moving things I’ve heard in years.
Magic Macca @PaulMcCartney #Glastonbury#glastomac
Shivers here listening to that version of Something. This is a momentous set. A moment in time. The past falling into the present in front of our eyes. #glastonburyfestival2022#glastomac#glastonbury
You never give me your money!!!!
I am in heaven
I am nearly in tears
Thanks Macca #glastonbury#glastomac
Anyone that knows me knows what side 2 of Abbey Road means to me. This is the stuff of dreams. I am completely blown away. Thanks @PaulMcCartney#glastonbury#glastomac
Funny the guest spots of Springsteen and Grohl did nothing for me. Neither could hold a candle to the man. Different sound. McCartney pure emigrant Irish, Liverpool, repainting England. Others too denim. Back to business now. Let it Be. Live and Let Die #Glastonbury#glastomac
Golden Slumbers fill your eyes.
Ye that’s what they are.
Not tears. Not tears. #Glastonbury#glastomac

Manchester United. 🧵
I started supporting #mufc in the late 70’s. From then through the 80’s, Cups & beating Liverpool was the holy grail. They were miles from winning the league most season. But the team (especially under the Doc & Big Ron) always played on the front foot, 1/
looked to excite, a never say die spirit. That’s the United way. Not built on success, but in adversity. Busby built a young team connected to the community that was nearly destroyed in Munich. But it was rebuilt, same drive, same flair, same romance.... #mufc 2/
that brought them to the pinnacle of Europe playing sparkling football. Best, Law, Charlton. Resilience.
That candle burnt out. Busby’s shadow stayed too long and they dropped to second division #mufc 3/
“A reduction of numbers attending indoor events, including theatre and cinemas, will also be considered”
We have just managed to reconfigure as an industry to 50% in a highly regulated & safe environment. More change now would be catastrophic, imho unwarranted #savethearts
Supports from govt. @DeptCulturelRL@artscouncil_ie & work of @Campaign4Arts has been extraordinary through all. The resilience of people across our industry has been a privilege to witness. Live arts events are church for many. Needed now more than ever. #savethearts
If more needs to be done for public health right now, imho it is important that well-being is included. Live events serve a function way beyond entertainment. They rejuvenate. It is my experience that they are safe & spread something badly needed. Hope & Joy #savethearts
“You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometime you just might find you get what you need.”
This has been my self help mantra courtesy of @MickJagger for many years.

I don't believe you can have all you want even if you can see it & believe you deserve it
You will just end up being disappointed, continually failing.
For me, I start from what I have
How I want to feel
What’s stopping me feeling that way.
Can I do something about it?
2/7
If I can’t myself then I need help
Sometimes help comes in strange places
It can come from the magical diversion of thinking about how to help someone else
Of taking a breath
Of reaching out
You might need support
From a friend, from medicine
Or from both #mentalhealth

Dublin's heart and charm is cluttered, cluttered with atmosphere not fecking 'quarters' with their chrome and their Costas. Dublin is a good second-hand shop, a Freebird records, Dandelion market, Kehoes, Mulligans, Marks Bros, where folk gather, share and hunt for diamonds....
It's Bewley's and the Savoy and tara street station and the piano at Pearse and Chapters bookshop and get the last of your wrapping paper and the walk to Croker and the canal end heaving and Patrick Kavanagh chilling on the canal..
It's the glow of the Aviva and the dart rattling in and the excitement of Grafton Street and the velvet of the Gaiety, the sticky floors and sounds of the Olympia and Thomas street with artists and those that might be drinking pints as the toilet rolls are sold on the street
