  • RAG: New Media Discussion Audio

    we-live-in-public

    On Monday 14th June I was involved in a talk on New Media for RAG (Revolutionary Anarcha Feminist Group).

    The Discussion included the many uses and dangers of ‘new media’, the possibilities for positive change and ‘radical democracy’ via the internet, the dilemma of ‘internet neurosis’ where feelings of vulnerability and fears of exploitation need to be negotiated in order to utilize the internet as activists, artists and self-publishers and the potential of the internet as a force for oppression and control.

    Audio from the event is now available to listen to here

    Part One is available to download from here
    Part Two is available to download from here

    Thanks to Andrew for the Audio

    Thank to Emily for asking me down

  • Looking for the family of John ‘Irish’ Earle

    John as I knew him

    In 2004 I interviewed John ‘Irish’ Earle. We spoke about John’s career and the memories he had of working with different bands. For those of you not familiar with who John was, he was a bit of a legend, playing Saxophone on some musical classics including Thin Lizzy’s Dancing In The Moonlight and the theme tune to Fraggle Rock

    This week I was chatting to mutual friends and I was wondering about John’s family. Did they know where they are? Our mutual friends told me they thought John had family in the UK and in Switzerland.

    If, by some strange, cosmic coincidence, John’s family happen to read this, I would appreciate it if they could email me. nessymon at gmail.com

    Thanks

  • When Harvey Met Bob

    live-aid

    Yesterday I did something I had never done before.. I went for an open casting for extras for the new Irish movie ‘When Harvey Met Bob’.

    All I know is:

    • The Production starts soon
    • It’s set around Live Aid in 1985

    So by a matter of simple deduction, it must be something to do with this ‘Harvey’ character meeting Sir Bob Geldof.

    I arrived to the casting about 4.30, good timing.  Once 5 pm arrived, the queues and waiting times seemed to be getting longer. The staff on hand were a friendly efficient bunch, encouraging us to poof up the hair ‘remember its the eighties’. I was out by 5.15..

    This would be great if I get the chance to partake… lotta fun!
