August September 2006 Issue

Snow Patrol. Rock and Reflect.

By Declan O'Kelly, Contributor
August / September 2006

August 1, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Eyes Open by Snow Patrol should firmly establish the band on this side of the Atlantic. That they could produce such an assured work in a period when they lost their bassist and welcomed two new mem- bers is impressive in itself. With a mix of power rock and angst-ridden ballads, the Snow Patrol canvas is adorned with lush strokes and deft touches. The melancholic “Chasing … [Read more...] about Snow Patrol.

August 1, 2006 by 16 Comments

TOM DEIGNAN writes about the deadly “Orange Riots” in New York City in 1871. Thanks in large part to Martin Scorsese's epic movie, Gangs of New York, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Liam Neeson, the New York Draft Riots are now more or less permanently lodged in the consciousness of most Irish-Americans who are interested in their history. A slew of books … [Read more...] about The Other Irish Riots of July

Irish Festivals and Fleadhs Abound in the Summer Months. Michelle Harty reports. It has been said that no one is as Irish as an Irishman overseas.

Sláinte! Irish Tree Tales

By Edythe Preet, Contributor
August / September 2006

August 1, 2006 by Leave a Comment

From space, Earth resembles a big beautiful marble with swirling patterns of blue (oceans), white (clouds), and green (trees).  As global warming makes weekly headlines, we are warned of the dire future we face should the delicate balance between the three become irreparably compromised. In a worst case scenario, plants would disappear. In 1657AD, the English scholar William … [Read more...] about Sláinte! Irish Tree Tales

Niall O’Dowd writes on the re-release of Mise Éire, which documents the birth of the Irish Nation. Every schoolchild in Ireland in the 1960's saw Mise Éire (I Am Ireland),  the Irish-language film which chronicles, in extraordinary detail, the birth of the Irish Nation. I saw it again recently and realized what an incredible piece of film it is.  The good news for the Irish in … [Read more...] about Birth of a Nation

June 23, 1985

329 passengers were killed in a plane crash off the coast of Ireland. Air India flight 182 was en route from Montreal to Dehli, when it was blown up in Irish airspace by a bomb. Investigation into the flight led Canadian officials to believe that a Sikh militant group called Babbar Khalsa was responsible for the bombing. 280 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens and 22 Indian citizens were lost, resulting in the largest mass murder in modern Canadian history. A monument remembering the event was unveiled in 1986 in Ahakista, Cork.
