What a joy to have Greenshine (Noel Shine, Mary Greene and Ellie Shine) live in studio to sing and chat, about their new single "Cork" and lots of other thoughts along the way. Download it from Bandcamp. Release Date May 22nd.

Author and actress Alice Barry spoke to Elmarie Mawe about thetrue story of the most fascinating Irish woman, Violet Gibson, who actually shot Mussolini in 1926. It's a wonder there hasn't been a movie about her already. It's such an incredible story and Alice is bringing it to Midelton Arts Festival this week.

Creedon's in Inchigeela on Friday May 17th and L'Attitude 51 on Wednesday May 22nd are dates for the diary depending on what part of Cork you're in, as Ger Wolfe, one of the most genuine musicians in the business, continues a new series of gigs celebrating the album "Morning Star." He joined Elmarie and Conor in studio on Sunday.

Cork City was burned down on the night of December 11th 1920. It's hard to fathom that now. It's only by seeing the scale of the disaster in photos of its aftermath that we can imagine what the terror on the streets was like. Well it was the closing night of The Gondoliers in Cork Opera House, and that's the starting point for Ger Fitzgibbon's novel "Songs for a Burning City", as he told Elmarie in studio.

The Choir of St Mary's and The Cork Fleischmann Symphony Orchestra combine in yet another spectacular concert in St Mary's on Pope's Quay in the city, for Fauré's Requiem. Elmarie chatted to Keith Pascoe, Director of the CFSO.
