About Us

Welcome to 

The idea was a simple one – a year ago we thought it’d be fun to start a group blog project (well, everyone seems to have one these days), the theme took a little bit longer. To be fair, pop culture is one of the few common threads that runs through almost all of us and Ireland doesn’t have a  huge, enormous pop culture review site/aggregator/news place (can’t you see we’ve researched the lingo here?) so we decided to give it a go.

Getting others in on it was harder. Actually, to be fair, that was the easy bit. Pretty much everyone we asked said yes.

In August 2009, we thought it was time to expand so invited our readers to become writers. The response was phenomenal with over 50 people applying. While it would have been logistically impossible to take on everyone, we’ve welcomed a number of new writer to the group.

So here we are.

A huge thank you to AJ at Le Craic for donating the URL (how *did* he manage to get it?) and Pedro for helping with the design. Kudos too to our forefather Rick O’Shea , and to AnthonyMcG , The National Lottie , Sinead Keogh and Sinead Cochrane for helping behind the scenes.

This is very much a place for us to write about everything pop culture related but we’re hoping the comments and the community is what will really make here interesting.

So, off we go,

Darren Byrne
