Behind the music - Ex-Jungle vocalist Andro
Former Jungle vocalist Andro has released his new single, A Little Harder. We asked him the BIG questions . . . The track is from the London-based solo-artist's upcoming EP, Broken Limerence. Having spent years as a vocalist with Mercury-nominated and Brit Award winning neo-soul band Jungle, Andro's solo material blends together the neo-soul roots of his past, whilst showcasing the 80s infused Pop and R&B influences that define his signature sound. Speaking about the new track, he says: " A Little Harder is about emotional whiplash - that kind of intense, confusing relationship where love feels weaponised. "It touches on vulnerability, betrayal, and how giving too much of yourself too soon can backfire. There's anger here, yeah, but also heartbreak and a longing. Someone told me they were in love with me and used it against me when I wasn't ready." Tell us three things about yourself . . . I'm a really great cook. I'm a proud Scouser. My gran was half-Irish. So, I guess that makes me kinda Irish? How would you describe your music? Alternative pop soul music that challengers your ears of what should be mainstream. Who are your musical inspirations? Björk, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Solange Knowles. What was the first gig you ever went to? One Heart One Voice Urban Gospel Choir in Liverpool. What was the first record you ever bought? Whenever, Wherever by Shakira. What's your favourite song right now? Stronger by JACOTENE. Favourite lyric of all time? "I'm not your boyfriend or slave" - from my song, New Home. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Agape by Nicholas Britell. Where can people find your music/more information?

Wish List: Eight ideas to treat ourselves and loved ones
3D Maps Father's Day is coming up, and if you're on the hunt for something a little different for any sea-loving dads, Sligo-based Outcrop have nailed it. Their beautifully crafted round wooden 3D maps (€99) are the kind of gift that ticks all the boxes — personal, Irish-made, and eco-conscious. You can even mark a meaningful spot with a solid brass pin or add a custom engraving. We love the Atlantic blue stain (a nod to their coastal roots), and the new natural finish is just lovely. Made without glue or nails and fully compostable — how sound is that? Browse over 100 Irish locations at or check them out at stockists like Foxford Woollen Mills, The Loft in Clonakilty, or Krafted in Wexford. Street Carnival Mark your diaries: The brilliant Irish Yogurts Clonakilty Street Carnival is back on Saturday, June 14, and fitness expert Karl Henry has already cut the ribbon. It's one of West Cork's happiest days out — think street food, music, colour, and serious summer vibes. Pearse Street transforms into one long open-air dining room, with top-notch dishes from local chefs (everything from spicy Indian to seafood feasts). Non-food activities are free, but grab meal tickets early from O'Donovan's Hotel or Fuchsia Footwear. Hungry birds Got a dad who loves his garden birdies? FieldDay's bamboo bird feeder could be a sweet little gift. It's part of their expanded collection, which now includes reusable stoneware candle pots and refill packs — great for repurposing and easy on the planet. This bird feeder, along with their wild bird seed, is a gentle reminder to enjoy the outdoors. Find them at and in stores like Avoca, Meadows & Byrne, and Blarney Woollen Mills. Bagged Beach days are back, and we spotted the perfect bag in Clonakilty: The Venice from Burke by Design — fully lined, zipped, with handy internal pockets, and just €39.95. It comes in black, brown, cream and gold, and honestly, it looks far more expensive. Pam's shop is a real treasure trove — think baby gifts, homeware, jewellery (Ania Haie, Ted Baker, Chlobo), and even bespoke wardrobe styling. You'll find them on Instagram @burkebydesign or at Or just pop in if you're in town — it's that kind of place. New tastes I had planned to include Keogh's new crisps in our Tried & Tested spot... but they vanished before I got the chance (thanks, family, ye hounds). Their Ghost Chilli & Sour Cream flavour launched at Bloom, and apparently, it's hot, hot, hot — but it is balanced beautifully by that cool tang. They're €2.89 a bag and available from June in stores and You've been warned! Time to cleanse One thing I did get to try is the new Rosalique cleanser and night cream. I'm a long-time fan of their three-in-one anti-redness cream, and the balm cleanser (€34.95) is gorgeously gentle — and it also doubles as a mask. The night cream left my skin calm, happy, and totally unbothered. Everything is vegan, cruelty-free, and available from pharmacies or Organic beauty Beauty lovers take note: Innersense Organic Beauty has landed in Ireland. If you're into clean, conscious self-care, this California brand ticks every box — high performance, sustainable, and transparent. Prices range from €28-€70 and it's all available via The story behind it is special too, rooted in family, care, and making better choices. Cork pride Oh and before I forget, we had to include Jando's 'Everything Is Better In…' print series. It's a colourful, county-pride collection of riso prints that's perfect for GAA-loving dads or anyone missing home. Naturally, we went for Cork. Up the Rebels!
