We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Thanks to all who nominated us for this year’s PR Slides/Littlewoods Ireland BOPS Awards! If you’d be so kind as to pop over to the page attached and hit the ‘Town Mouse Country Mouse” button we’d be forever grateful and love you for all eternity. We have some stiff competition, and being still less than […]
MorePost by T.M. On March 29th 2004 (which will be a whole decade ago this Saturday) something happened that changed Irish society forever.

It’s furry and bright, colourful yet cheerless, and despite its gremlin moniker has been wholly embraced with those with an eye for the quirky and money to burn. They are […]
MorePost by T.M. While I always look forward to red carpet looks, especially the Oscar red carpet, I’ve been internally scowling about the Academy Awards. They are prejudiced, unfair, ‘political’ and the winners are decided by old, white, rich men but – oh! there’s Brad and Angie in the audience, sitting behind Lupita and her brother who […]
