Wicklow filmmaker launches fundraiser for movie about bullies and their comeuppance
Having written, directed, and produced three feature films on his own time, personal budget, and with help from friends and family, Adams will team up with producer Nicky Fitzsimons to bring his new vision to the big screen. Bearing the tag-line 'What goes around comes around', Karma follows James, a quiet, selfless man who cares for the elderly, but faces cruelty and violence from thugs when he returns to his housing estate. After a savage beating, a mysterious stranger named David offers to make the harassment stop, and what begins as protection spirals into a chilling spree of calculated revenge. As the bullies vanish one by one, James' true nature emerges, manipulating David into becoming his deadly enforcer. One question haunts the shadows: who is David, and why is he so eager to help someone he just met? 'Growing up, I encountered individuals who thrived on belittling others, and there was an undeniable sense of justice when they finally faced the consequences of their actions,' Adams said. 'However, this film is not just about vengeance; it delves into the complexity of bullying and the fine line between justice and retribution. 'The audience will find themselves rooting for James, as his story is both relevant and relatable. In his darkest moments, his friend supports him, highlighting the power of true friendship. There is no better feeling than knowing someone has your back. 'Karma is a fresh perspective on contemporary Irish cinema. Recent Irish films and TV shows often focus on touchy historical subjects, the grief of losing family members, or the gritty underworld of gangland shootings and drug trade,' he added. 'While these stories are important, I believe it's time to offer Irish audiences something wild, new, and exhilarating. Karma aims to fill that gap with a narrative that will have viewers on the edge of their seats, hands over their eyes one moment, and cheering for the protagonists the next.' Explaining how, alongside his GoFundMe, he is applying for funding through official Irish channels, Adams said some brilliant talent he has worked with during nine years as an assistant director in the Irish film industry will join him on the feature. ADVERTISEMENT 'As we draw closer to filming, Nicky and I will announce the cast and crew on this journey,' he said. 'We plan to shoot the film in one block throughout a five-week production schedule. I'm committed to seeing this project through, and the three feature films I've completed are proof of that dedication. 'We are seeking community support to bring the film to life — this time with the public's help. All funds raised go directly toward essential production costs and meals on set. 'Every donation will make a meaningful difference. Thank you to everyone for supporting independent filmmaking and helping us take this next step with a talented team behind us.'

All Together Now ready for 'incredible' Fontaines DC, CMAT
30,000 people are set to attend All Together Now over the bank holiday weekend and organisers are teasing some incredible performances from Irish artists. Fontaines DC and CMAT are two of the big names who will take to the main stage at the Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford. "It's amazing to have Fontaines, they're not just one of the biggest bands in Ireland at the moment, but one of the biggest bands in the world," festival director Will Rolfe told RTÉ News. "CMAT played the festival in 2022, and you could tell then that her personality and performance was going to see her grow to these heights and I think it's only getting started for her. She'll have one of the biggest crowds over the weekend." This is the sixth edition All Together Now, which began in 2018 with a capacity of 10,000 people. Supporting Irish artists is "a key part of the festival". "We've over 20 stages and over 400 performers to there's a lot of Irish talent over the weekend. Hopefully some of them will start on smaller stages and come back again on the main stage," he said. Outside of the musical line-up, Mr Rolfe is particularly proud of the festival's collaboration with The Great Oven – an organisation that creates community ovens which have been in installed in refugee camps, conflict zones and informal settlements. All Together Now has commissioned two ovens which will go on to new homes after the festival. "Post-show, one will go to Bohemians Football Club where it will be part of a community kitchen, and the other will go to the West Bank in Palestine. Those two ovens will be twinned and hopefully build out a cultural exchange," he explained. The festival has also invited Palestinian radio station Radio Alhara to curate the line-up for one of its stages.

Hollywood star Patrick Bergin to guest judge at Tipperary Song of Peace Final
Both events will take place in the Old Templeneiry Church, Bansha, County Tipperary, on Wednesday, August 20, at 7pm. Mr Bergin starred opposite Julia Roberts in Sleeping with the Enemy, and played the title character in Robin Hood. His other roles include terrorist Kevin O'Donnell in Patriot Games (1992) and the villainous Aidan Maguire in the BBC soap opera EastEnders (2017–2018). His brother Emmet Bergin also became an actor, best known for playing Dick Moran in the soap opera Glenroe, for its full 1983–2001 run. Mr Bergin lives in Emmel Castle in Cloughjordan with his partner Helen Goldin. Joining Mr Bergin on the judging panel is the 'Bansha Lass' and singer Louise Morrissey. Louise has long been one of Ireland's top singers and entertainers. She has achieved huge success in both Ireland and the UK and remains one of country music's most popular performers. There are six finalists in the Song of Peace. They include the German-Irish combination of Julius Wandelt, composer, Peter Reinders, performer, and Buddy Sutton, lyricist. Joining them will be Kenny Grant, a singer songwriter originally from Scotland, now living in Malahide, Ireland, along with the Irish-Slovenian combination of Keith McLoughlin, composer, and Sabina Vostner, performer. The finalists include Eugene Stuart, a composer and performer from Dublin, Tipperary native composer and performer Paula Ryan, and County Down composer and performer Kate McDonald.

Diarmuid O'Ríain (Darby Ryan) was born at Ashgrove, Bansha in 1777 and was a poet and patriot, his most famous composition was undoubtedly The Peeler and the Goat, a ballad or satire which was popularly sung across Ireland and was taken worldwide by emigrants. Darby composed many songs and ballads across numerous topics, not least Irish nationalism. Darby composed both in Irish and English and when any event of local or national importance took place, Darby was called on to immortalise it in verse. The venue for the final is the beautiful Templeneiry Church in Bansha village. The venue cannot accommodate as many as a hall or theatre, so those interested in attending are requested to book well in advance on The page is called the Darby Ryan International Poetry Contest and the Tipperary Song of Peace.
