Misneach means courage, but on this night it also meant community and solidarity.
It’s been just over a week since Misneach and we still can’t believe how many of ye showed up to support the cause. Between the event, merch sales on the night and the prize draw, we’re delighted to announce we have raised £3050 for Palestinian aid - being split between The Sameer Project and Palestinian Youth Movement 🇵🇸
Massive shoutout to our amazing DJs - bhí siad dochreidte 💚 @djshampain@sohotsospicy@joe.murphy___@steckybone@user__rl . And a huge thanks to @__jameskiernan__ for taking these videos on the night, and to @vittoriawharfstudio for hosting the night 💚
Every pound raised is going directly to Palestinian-led organisations providing medical aid and supporting communities on the ground and we’re so grateful to all of you for showing up for the cause.
Massive grá and gratitude to everyone who came to the gig or bought a raffle ticket - ye made this night possible.
Go raibh míle míle maith agaibh ❤️ until next time

CROÍ NA GAEILGE & SELECTA GROVE PRESENTS: KYNSY ⚡️ @kynsy___
With 4 days to go until Croíthe, we wanted to start introducing you to our ceoltóirí iontacha and give you snippets of their ceol.
For a long while, Kynsy - the confident on stage performer - and Ciara Lindsey, the off stage songwriter behind it all, were two quite different people. Having gained swift praise from the likes of NME, DIY and Dork for her first singles ‘Cold Blue Light’ and ‘Happiness Isn’t A Fixed State’ back in 2020, the Dublin-raised, London-based musician soon found herself being heralded as a thrilling new voice in guitar music; upon the release of 2021 debut EP ‘Things That Don’t Exist’, reviews comparing her fizzing, earwormy indie-rock to luminaries such as The Strokes and St. Vincent came flooding in. But while Kynsy was immediately finding her place in the scene, Ciara was still trying to work out hers.
In pursuit of these big dreams, Kynsy went full-pelt into her art. Having cut her teeth in a “good but chaotic” all-female rock band in her late teens, the MO for her solo work had always been to put musicality at the fore, working “with really good musicians who were gonna push me and take my songs to the next level”. After the immediate excitement around ‘Things That Don’t Exist’, second EP ‘Something To Do With Love’ soon followed in 2022. Recorded with noted producer Charlie Andrews (alt-J, Wolf Alice, Marika Hackman), it embraced a more experimental stance, and saw Kynsy flirt with her poppier side.
Catch her from 9pm downstairs @nextdoorrecords x
