Bren Berry releases new song ahead of NCH gig
Former Revelino guitarist Bren Berry has released his new single, We Have It All, ahead of his live performance with The Crash Ensemble at the National Concert Hall in Dublin next week.
The song is the latest single from Berry's debut solo album In Hope Our Stars Align and he describes it as "a love letter to family and home and a celebration of resilience, recovery and creativity".
Speaking about the song, he says, "I wrote the song when I was recovering from coronary surgery and, while it reflects the sense of sadness and self-doubt I was feeling at the time, the overall feeling of the song is of joy and gratitude. It also shines with the sense of contentment that I felt about rediscovering music again after so many years away from it."
Berry, who played rhythm guitar for acclaimed Dublin band Revelino in the 1990s, will play the debut performance of his debut solo album with Crash Ensemble and vocal ensemble Tonnta as part of MusicTown at the NCH on 14 June.
It is also the first that he will perform live with other musicians since his former band broke up in 2001.
"I loved making my debut record and was genuinely unsure if I would ever play live but the chance to perform with The Crash Ensemble at The National Concert Hall is a pinch-me moment and a huge privilege," he says.
"They are one of Ireland's musical treasures and I cannot wait to hear what they do with the new arrangements for my songs. I really hope to live up to their incredible standards."

Bono – Stories of Surrender review: The life and times of this gifted raconteur is an elegant affair
We might add to this list a night in late 2022 when Bono brought the debut show of his all-singing, all-sharing book tour to the Olympia Theatre. Marking the release of his memoir Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, the night was attended by a who's-who of Irish life; everyone from heads of state to broadcasting giants. What greeted them was a side to the U2 frontman perhaps less seen, part opera star, part seanchaí, relating the knots of his extraordinary life from a stage of rare intimacy. Stripped-down versions of songs would helix through stories about his parents, his upbringing in Dublin, meeting wife Ali and his eventual bandmates (in the same week), and the globe-gobbling stardom that would eventually come. Two things seemed to strike anyone lucky enough to get a ticket or an invite that night – the stagecraft of the entire performance, and the sheer dexterity and control of the then 62-year-old's vocal cords. One music industry friend of mine, someone who has seen all the greats down through the years, put it in the top five things he had ever seen staged anywhere in our capital. That show's beguiling format of yarns and renditions from one of the most famous people on the planet has been captured on camera without too much in the way of reverence or pomp. Andrew Dominik's film brings just a slick monochrome sheen and some light digital trickery to proceedings as it swoops about New York's Beacon Theatre. Accompaniment is provided by producer and occasional U2 collaborator Jacknife Lee, who strips those arena-filling compositions back to their essence with vocal and instrumental help from Crash Ensemble cellist Kate Ellis and harpist Gemma Doherty (of Saint Sister). That aside, it's just a table, a few chairs, a bit of a lighting rig and a gifted raconteur cherry-picking from his bestselling memoir. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more As with the book, the 'eccentric heart' trouble that hospitalised him in New York in 2016 is a jumping-off point for what is essentially a scenic route through a newfound sense of mortality. And then it's right into Cedarwood Road, The Ramones and a complicated parental dynamic. More than in the print memoir, Bono's over-arching niggle in Dominik's film is father Bob, the opera-lover who married protestant Iris (much to his own family's disapproval). Following Iris's death when then Paul Hewson was just 14, much head-butting went on between the punkish teenager and the nonchalant, old-school Bob. All good frontmen carry the 'look at me, Mum' gene, but while Iris's death certainly played a role, it was Bob's reluctance to really acknowledge his pride in the rising superstar that provides the emotional cornerstone for these stories. By the time Bono is re-enacting their stunted Sunday afternoon conversations in Finnegan's pub, the delicate dynamic is tangible but somehow never mawkish or self-pitying. Always there is a sense of forward momentum, a dance that, much like the operas his father would sing along to, have their ebbs and flows. A brilliant mimic who is naturally predisposed to physical showmanship and far-reaching activism, you come to appreciate just what a rare and unusual creature Bono is and how wide of the mark are those tiresome slurs on his character (he does pay taxes, by the way, as do all members of U2 – find a new hobby). And what of the songs chosen from that imperious back catalogue? Well, there are moments in this show where a classic track bubbles up to the surface of an anecdote – see the penning of debut single Out of Control or Pride (In the Name of Love) – that are so cannily timed they arrive like goosebumps exploding. Hate them all you like, but there can be no denying that U2 and their singular frontman push buttons that no one else has really found access to. While an early Christmas present for fans, for everyone else this is an elegant, classy, fun and often poignant one-man opera that revels in the limitations of its setting. Four stars

Cannes dress code forces Halle Berry to switch outfits
The Cannes Film Festival 2025 has kicked off and is set to bring A-listers Paul Mescal, Bono, Jennifer Lawrence and more to the balmy French city. You can see the gallery of best celebrity looks here. However, there was one hitch in the road in the lead up to the glamorous festival, as organisers announced new changes to the festival dress code. While long evening dresses, tuxedos, cocktail dresses and pant suits were all permitted, revealing outfits and voluminous dresses with long trains are now banned from the red carpet. The changes were made for "decency reasons" and to prevent the flow of traffic being disrupted by large dresses, the organisers said, and given the changes were made just days before the stars hit the red carpet, it's unsurprising that at least one A-lister had to make some last-minute tweaks. Speaking at a jury press conference on the opening day of the festival, Tuesday 13 May, jury member Halle Berry revealed that she was forced to change her choice of gown, as it would have gone against the new rules. "I had an amazing dress by [Indian avant-garde designer Gaurav] Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train," Berry said at a jury press conference at the festival. "I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule." While we may never get to see that gown by the showstopping designer, Berry instead stepped out in a chic and eye-catching black and white gown by French designer Jacquemus. The floor-length gown featured a high neckline, an A-line silhouette, and an open back accented with a cape detail, all in a simple monochromatic stripe pattern. She wore her hair cropped short and loosely waved, while her makeup was bold and smokey. Although Berry heeded the organiser's wishes about the dress code, there were a number of voluminous dresses spotted on the red carpet. Heidi Klum made a statement in a flowing dusty pink strapless gown by Elie Saab, which featured layers of organza ruffles that were cut to resemble floral petals, a daring thigh-high slit and a long train that flowed behind her. She added pale pink high-heel sandals and an assortment of shimmering jewels from Lorraine Schwartz. She finished her look with a soft and glamorous makeup look, pairing a nude lip with a smokey eye and plenty of bronzer. Her blonde hair was styled into loose waves.
