The Beat Poets

 

'Blistering, Frenzied, blood-stirring, old school rock that weaves its way through U2, the Foos and The Vines, Belfast four-piece 'The Beat Poets' have caused quite a stir since being plucked from obscurity to support The Chemical Brothers on their tour. – NME 18/11/06

Exposé: Tomai teaches Irish


So Tomai thinks he can teach anyone Irish? We put his claims to the test as Tomai ventures into Portora Royal School in Enniskillen and to Drumragh college in Omagh to teach an Irish class to complete beginners. Tomai has his sights set on making the Irish language accessible to all people, even in the unlikely venues of a state school and an integrated college. With an aim to make the oldest language in Europe fun and accessible, Tomai undertakes to take the politics out of language and put the fun back in.
