Falls Cancels all 2023 Events
After suffering a number of blows over the past 4 years, the beloved Falls Festival have decided they won't be going ahead with this year, with organisers stating "This year we’ll take time off to enjoy the holiday period and allow some space to re-imagine how Falls will look in the future.” Bit of a bummer for all the festival fans - and also a blow to a festival that helps bring in amazing international artists and also support local acts!

The Boy Band Con - The Lou Pearlman Story
If you're looking for an interesting doco to fill a couple of hours, may I recommend this one! If you don't know who he is, Lou Pearlman was the mastermind behind the boyband explosion of the late 90's and early 2000's, producing acts like Nsync, Backstreet Boys and Take 5. After being taken to court multiple times for mismanagement of band funds, Pearlman was eventually embroiled in the largest Ponzi scheme in US history, going to jail in 2007 and dying in prison in 2016. A truly wild tale - check it out here!
Well friends, that's me for this week!
Stay safe and have a yourself lovely weekend, Tom
